I have a part that requires me to put a .254" target depth (Z axis) and a .95" WOC target depth split in the middle of my parts top. I'm trying to avoid the constant flip of parts and hoping that I can cut this in one shot. This setup is until I get my 2" .25" face thickness splitting saw blade, then I can knock this out in one pass in 6 WOC passes.
I'm working with a .062" thick - 2" Dia. - 40 tooth carbide splitting saw. Here's the link to the blade

I'm not finding any info on from the company that produces it and really would like to know the speeds or feeds. So I thought I'd ask here to see what you guys would do or any recommendations would be ?
Here's what I was going to try, but don't want any pieces of carbide blade in my head... One thing I'm not really sure about is the WOC passes, or it being solid carbide I could take the whole .95" in one pass ?
Stock - 6061 Aluminum
.062 passes x 4.1 = 0.254" (little bit of play room for the clamp)
WOC passes - ?
RPM - 573
Feed - 22.9
SFM (just guessing here) - 300
FPT 0.001"
Coolant - ?
Here's what the split will look like on an old part. Split is holding a .25" top plate that a gearbox is attached too.
Thanks and Happy Holidays
