Fullerton Just-in-Time Solid Carbide Slitting Saws
Select Fullerton JIT carbide slitting saws for the material and dimensions of your cutting operation. Compare the 2450 ferrous and 2455 non-ferrous families, then use the category filters for cutting diameter, cutting width, arbor hole and tooth count. These saws are made to specified size and arbor requirements, with order-specific lead times to confirm before scheduling production.
2450 JIT Saws for Ferrous Materials
Explore the 2450 family for Fullerton-listed applications in steels, stainless steels, cast iron and other supported materials. Its medium-pitch tooth design and standard rake and dish address the demands of ferrous sawing. Match the material and section being cut to the exact saw dimensions and recommended cutting conditions.
2455 JIT Saws for Non-Ferrous Materials
The 2455 family covers aluminum, magnesium, brass, copper and selected composites, plastics and wood. Double-dish geometry provides side clearance, and polished sides help limit material buildup. Compare the coarse-pitch design and available dimensions against the work material and required slot or cut.
Select the Cutting Diameter
Choose the diameter around the required cutting depth, arbor clearance and machine capacity. The usable reach of a mounted saw depends on the arbor and clamping arrangement as well as the blade diameter. Review the assembly before selecting the tool and applying the recommended operating speed.
Match Cutting Width to the Feature
Use the cutting-width filter to compare saw thicknesses for your slot or cutoff operation. Check the drawing and the allowable finished-width variation, including the effects of setup and runout. Verify the exact saw dimensions and manufacturing tolerance before ordering the configuration.
Confirm Arbor Hole & Tooth Count
Match the saw bore to the correct arbor and check how the blade will be clamped and supported. Then choose tooth count and geometry for the material and cut. Compare the complete product specifications instead of assuming saws with the same outside diameter share the same bore or tooth arrangement.
Add JIT Reamers for Precision Holes
If the part also requires a finished bore, compare Fullerton JIT carbide reamers as part of the same tooling plan. Made-to-size reamers provide options for the required hole diameter, length and flute style. Plan drilling and finishing separately from the slitting operation to meet each feature requirement.
Choose the Material Family First
Begin with the material, then compare 2450 ferrous or 2455 non-ferrous tooling as appropriate. Each family uses a different combination of tooth geometry and side clearance. Use the current Fullerton guidance for the exact material and avoid transferring the cutting parameters from a different saw family.
Confirm the JIT Configuration & Lead Time
Provide the outside diameter, cutting width, arbor hole, tooth requirement and quantity for the job. Fullerton JIT scheduling varies with size and order quantity. Confirm the manufacturing lead time and shipment details for the selected configuration before planning production around its arrival.
Complete the Setup with High-Performance Milling
Pair the saw selection with Fullerton high-performance end mills for the part features that require milling. Compare Fantom 2.0 for its listed demanding applications, AlumaMill for aluminum work, and TiMill for titanium applications. Select each tool around the material and operation it will perform.
Fullerton JIT Carbide Slitting Saws: Selection Questions
- What is the difference between 2450 and 2455 JIT saws?
- The 2450 family addresses ferrous applications such as steels and cast iron. The 2455 family targets non-ferrous materials and selected non-metallic materials. Their tooth and side-clearance designs differ, so select by material and application.
- Which dimensions do I need when choosing a slitting saw?
- Confirm the outside cutting diameter, cutting width or thickness, arbor hole and tooth count. Also review the required cutting depth, mounting clearance and tool tolerance for the application.
- Are Fullerton JIT saws made to order?
- Yes. Fullerton manufactures JIT saws to specified size and arbor requirements. Confirm the configuration, quantity and current lead time before ordering.
- Can I mount any saw with the same outside diameter on my arbor?
- No. The arbor hole and clamping arrangement must match, and the assembly must provide the required support and clearance. Check the saw and arbor specifications together.
- Does JIT mean every saw ships within 24 hours?
- No. Fullerton publishes different turnaround schedules based on saw size and quantity. The applicable lead time must be confirmed for the actual order, including any configuration requirements.
- Where can I compare Fullerton JIT reamers?
- Use the JIT reamer links on this page to compare made-to-size hole-finishing tools. The reamer section separates stub and standard lengths and provides straight, right-hand spiral and left-hand spiral options.
