Good afternoon All,
A question for you knowledgeable folk. I have a 2mm x 100mm x 130T slitting saw, purchased from an established supplier.
How much peripheral runout is considered acceptable?
I’ve checked it using a dial indicator with an “elephants foot” stylus and measured 0.55mm (TIR) runout. This was replaced by another, (that I asked to be checked before despatch). Using the same method, the replacement saw measured 0.35mm (TIR).
The slitting saw was mounted on a stub arbor with 0.03mm runout at the slitting saw position.
I welcome comments on my method of measurement. I wasn’t sure how else to do it.
