How would you set it up to be exactly cutting a diameter?

  Is there a "kink" for setting up a slitting saw to saw through 
  round bar stock along the axis, so that the slot is exactly 
  across a diameter? (I presume this to be a similar problem to 
  setting up accurately for cross-drilling) 
  This is actually a Ham Radio application; I wish to make 
  up some very large banana-type plugs from the 1/4" round 
  bar stock that I have in small quantities. For this, I will need 
  to saw two diameters in a cross shape, and then splay 
  out the leaves slightly to make a springy and rubbing contact. 
 Hi Airy, couldn't you just use a grinding/cutting wheel to do this job? 
 Doesn't sound like you need any fancy jig to cut a slot or two into round 
 stock.
