       This article features a metal saw arbor made from free-cutting steel.  
      Article Number 44 shows the making of a metal-saw holder and   
      Article Number 48 shows the making an arbor for a small slitting saw. 
       
      The metal saw is a unique tool that is indispensable for some metalworking
      tasks.  I have used metal saws to cut a variety of materials, such as steel,
      cast iron, aluminum and brass.  Cutting has been done with and without
      the use of cutting fluids.  
      The below saw has 100 teeth, a diameter of 63 mm, and is 1 mm thick.  A
      design feature is the recessed mounting screw.
