Nope, I'm weighing all these good ideas! When we cut pieces in a horizontal bandsaw it goes pretty fast but the pieces of tube are 2.375" or 3.375" in qtys. of 24 to 48. We cut them 1/16" long in order to get the ends square and the length in spec. The deburring op is a little more, the inner and outer really get a slight chamfer. The tube gets swaged later on both ends and the chamfer helps the steel flow rather than fold up. So, I think if I can cut to exact length in the first op and only have to chamfer the ID, it would save two operations. I'll try our abrasive saw to see if it will cut square enough. I don't have a dry cut saw.
Here's the finished product"
Most of the orders are for 4" and the company that cuts those for us does a good job...the should, they charge $0.50 each! The orders for 2' and 3" are very few by comparison but are a pain and we have to have a skilled person do the job.
Thanks for the advice!
