merry Christmas Eve. so far in my hobbie endeavors, I've managed to make do without a slitting saw, mostly using my vertical metal cutting bandsaw and Foredom rotary tool, but I think it's time I pony up.
my mill is R8 so should I get a saw holder with an R8 shank or are there other uses for these where I would wish I could put it in a collet? if a round shank for a collet is better, should it be a 3/4" shank? I guess I should say that I have a PM 932M mill.
next, I see saw blades that have a keyway and some with just a round arbor hole. should I get a holder with or without a key for the blades? the key would seem logical, but maybe there are more keyless blades available?
anything else I need to know? thanks for any info you can provide.
