Re: Need Advice for Cutting Stainless Steel Tube

 

The waste material is most stable when pulled back against the fixed jaw while being cut.?
To sandwich the tube means the waste on the movable jaw side would be unsupported until it got near the middle of the cut. That would vibrate badly.?
If you've only got thin waste material, multiple layers between the tube and fixed jaw will work as well as a single thick piece - jv

Thanks Bruce!

I wonder what benefit I¡¯d see if I made a tube?sandwich by placing sacrificial material of about the same height and thickness before and after the stainless tube? Would that arrangement serve to prevent tooth breakage? That seems logical...

Another technique that I've used on a thin piece of metal tubing that could chip off a tooth or two is to put in a sacrificial piece of something like plywood, aluminum, hardwood, etc., behind the piece and cut both at the same time.? That way there is much less chance of catching a tooth.??
