Now tips on how you dial in a slitting saw, that would be a good topic for

start. Oh, I'm repeating myself.


Sounds fun. Post some pictures.

Had the same problem with a slitting saw. I'd like to know how you dial one
in also.

You don't. Either the arbor and hole are concentric with the saw's
periphery or they aren't, assuming negligable runout on the spindle
itself.

None of mine are perfectly concentric but most are pretty close. It
doesn't seem to make any difference in performance. More important is
whether (or not) the plane of the saw is perpendicular to the spindle
axis so the slot cut will be the desired width.
