R8 slitting saw arbor, does it exist?

[AaronM]

I got myself an HF mini mill and find the need for a 3" slitting saw.
I'm having a bit of trouble finding a really solid arbor for one however.

Any ideas?:candle:

In R8, there are quite a few sources for these, but they start around $50 and go up to $150 ... plus the slitting saw blade:

Then you'll need the blade, which runs around $50 unless you can catch one on eBay:

For some setups, you can slit (slowly) with a woodruff key cutter. There are always some on eBay, and the odd sizes are cheap.

Thanks,
I found everything I wanted (SAR-8 arbor) on the victornet page you posted.

VME is pretty decent to deal with, and has lots of hard to find tooling.
