    Trying to find a 4" slitting blade

    Alright I know this is a shot in the dark. Im trying to set up a station for slitting/slotting guitar fretboards. I read a couple of old articles about guys using slitting blades. I need the cut to be .020 - .025 wide. I bought a harbor freight mity might http://tinyurl.com/s4qfn and now I need a blade. All of the articles that I read said "You can find these blades at your local machinist supply." I have been unable to find them so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    They have the blades at Penn State Industries web site here:
    http://www.pennstateind.com/store/mts3.html

    Scroll down and they list 2 versions, 24t and 40t

    If it does not show up, type in the search engine of the web site:
    MTSBL24T
    MTSBL40T
    These are carbide toothed blades, but I do not know their actual kerf thickness.


    I have a question for you - How well do you like that little saw? I have considered one of these for a long time because of the possibility of small slits/dados and for its very thin kerf when cutting small pieces.

          Throughout my racing career I was constantly reminded of this: "Keep the pointy end forward and the shiny side up!"
