Setting up slitting saw for round stock?

Airy R.Bean · 2005-01-13T13:13:17+00:00

Is there a "kink" for setting up a slitting saw to saw throughround bar stock along the axis, so that the slot is exactlyacross a diameter? (I presume this to be a similar problem tosetting up accurately for cross-drilling)This is actually a Ham Radio application; I wish to makeup some very large banana-type plugs from the 1/4" roundbar stock that I have in small quantities. For this, I will needto saw two diameters in a cross shape, and then splayout the leaves slightly to make a springy and rubbing contact.

I've got some that are about 0.3 inches in diameter.

There are various methods. First, you have to specify what kind of equipment you are using. You never did say. BTW, American speakers spell it center. We left England so we were free to do it a better way.
