I'm running a K&T 205 SA that I bought this year. Amazing machine, does all I ask and more.... except.... today I went to cut a slit with a 1/16" x 5" HSS slitter saw and sheared through the key on the horizontal arbor.... twice. Using recommended speeds and feeds, cut went well until it didn't.
Technique wise, is there something I should do differently with a slitter saw? I was running a much lower feed rate the second time, and it wasn't a heavy cut.
