Slitting saw holder for mill

[mmcmdl]

I use the original Bridgeport holders for most operations unless small slitting only . They'll hold thin and fairly large saws and are keyed . With power feed I feel the key isn't needed as my hands are free for oiling . When hand cranking , I use the keys as I'm not as steady as I use to be . Also , not a great idea to climb mill with large cutters or saws . Wear safety glasses .

What do you think you are going to use it for, how wide a slot and how deep?

nothing specific at the moment. the things I've made to date that I had to slit in other ways were small with narrow slits.

Joe Pie has a video on making one.

I've watched a lot of his vids but haven't seen that one. will take a look.
