HSS Slotting Cutter
Screw slotting cutters are specialized cutting tools, typically not exceeding 3/16 inch in width, designed to create slots or grooves in the heads of screws. They are often made from materials like HSS (High Speed Steel) and have teeth on the periphery to facilitate the cutting process. These cutters are used in screw slotting machines to create the slots, especially for screws and small fasteners.
Key Features and Uses:
- Screw slotting cutters are designed for narrow slots, often in the range of 3/16 inch or less.
- HSS Material: They are commonly made from HSS, a durable material suitable for cutting metal.
- Tooth Design: The periphery of the cutter features teeth for cutting the slot.
- Screw Slotting Machines: They are used in conjunction with screw slotting machines, which move the cutter and the workpiece to create the slots.

- Fastener Production: They are particularly useful for creating slots in the heads of screws, bolts, and other small fasteners.
- Shallow Cuts: Some screw slotting saws are hollow ground for shallow cuts and are not recommended for deep slots.
- Customization: Some manufacturers offer custom screw slotting cutters to meet specific needs.
- Screw Head Slotting: Primarily used for creating slots in the heads of screws, allowing for driving by screwdrivers.
- Fastener Manufacturing: Essential for the production of screws, bolts, and other fasteners with slotted heads.
- Machining and Milling: Can be used in CNC machines, drill machines, and milling machines for various slotting and grooving applications.
