re: Cutting Brass

[walter@omni.sps.mot.com (Thomas Walter)]

George,

Find someone who owns a metal bandsaw.
(simplest, quickest). Properly adjusted
they will cut straight. 

Metal lathe: nice cuts, more setup time. ;-)

Chop Saw: uh, fine for steel... not so for brass.

Tubing cutter: may mar your brass rod. (wrap
 the brass tube in a shim stock, or paper to
 prevent maring)

Hacksaw it... then SAND the egde how you want it.

Cheers,

Who use to *attempted* to cut brass in a chop saw,
but prefers using the metal band saw.
