R8 Slitting Saw arbor holder, holder for 5 x 75mm/3" blades, plus simple holder for any size blade

thingiverse

Another machine tool wall mount holder. This one is to hold an R8 slitting saw arbor and blades. The arbor i have is for blades with a 1 inch centre hole, so it has a 40mm diameter ring at the end of the R8 arbor stub, the hole in the bottom of the holder is 32mm. As my arbor has a left hand thread i added text on the holder to remind me of this when i am trying to release it and really tightening it up. There's 2 versions of the arbor holder, on with and one without that text. I did a simple colour change at the text layer for the next 2 layers in the slicer, as you can see it gives a 2 layer line of the text colour on the back of the arbor wall bracket too. You can do the same, or print it in one colour then color the text in with a marker. Or more likely if your arbor has the more normal right hand thread, just print the no text version. The saw blade holder is for 75mm / 3 inch diameter saws, it can take 5 blades and stacks them 4mm higher than the one in front (can't show that yet, as waiting for my order of more blades still) The slots are 2.5mm wide. When my other slitting saws came in the post, they turned out to be 100mm/4 inch ones, So rather than make another pocket style holder just for those 2 blades, i made a simple holder that holds the blades by their holes on the wall, It's got a step to stop them falling off, it's not just a simple circular piece, this this is my simplest holder yet.
