In article , Airy R.Bean says...

Is there a "kink" for setting up a slitting saw to saw through
round bar stock along the axis, so that the slot is exactly
across a diameter?

Just set the part up in the vise, and touch off on one
side using something like cigarette paper. Then advance
across the workpiece half a diameter plus have the
width of the saw blade. That will get you within a
few thou, becuase they do cut slightly oversize.
