I have a job that requires a .131 inch +/- .002 wide slot cut .700 deep in 1/2” square 1018 steel. As there are quite a few of these I would like to figure out a jig to hold them and cut a group at a time. I was thinking about using a 3 inch diameter 30 tooth .125 inch wide HSS slitting saw and cut them in 2 passes to achieve the .131 width. A starting rpm of 90 and 8 IPM feed. Is this the way you seasoned professionals would handle this? There is a Great deal of experience on this site so any suggestions are gratefully appreciated.
Or would the tool chatter be easy to manage if I used a 1/8 endmill with a length of cut of 3/4 inch??
