Our precision ground 2.000" diameter solid carbide saws are best used for tougher materials like steel, stainless, and super alloys. They have 48 teeth with a 5 degree rake angle, and a 1.000" inside diameter. The saws are ground with ultra-precision tolerances, with thickness held to +.0002"/-0.0000". Typical depth of cut per pass is about 2 times the saw thickness. If the total depth of cut is more than 5 times the saw thickness, or you need to have a slitting saw with the highest performance, try the K20-32-48 series saw. The recommended maximum total depth of cut with a C20-32-48 using an AB-1000 saw arbor is 0.200". For more gripping force and a maximum depth of 0.210" (using a .050" clearance cushion), use an NAB-1000 saw arbor.
