Re: [TCML] Machining Question - Techniques for Cut-Off Sawing

[Ben McMillen <spoonman534@xxxxxxxxx>]

Depends on how you want the finished part to look.. ;)

Typically, the 'rough' work is done with a cutoff saw, bandsaw, etc.. If you're careful, you leave just enough stock to get the part to size and get a nice finish cut.. this saves time when 'hogging' material to get close to the finished size..

Subject: [TCML] Machining Question - Techniques for Cut-Off Sawing


 
Just 
getting 
around 
to 
finally 
investing 
in 
a 
vertical 
mill, 
and 
am
looking 
at 
what 
options 
there 
are 
for 
a 
cut-off 
saw.
Do 
you 
typically 
just 
make 
a 
rough 
cut 
and 
then 
use 
the 
mill 
to
"perfect" 
the 
cut, 
or 
get 
the 
best 
possible 
cut 
right 
off 
the 
bat
using 
a 
cut-off 
saw?

Dewalt 
and 
Milwaukee 
(as 
well 
as 
others) 
sell 
some 
inexpensive 
metal
chop-saws, 
but 
not 
sure 
how 
well 
they 
work 
for 
soft 
metals 
like
aluminum, 
brass, 
etc... 
and 
plastics.

Any 
help 
appreciated!
Thanks!
