We have a product that uses a decent amount of 13HV hypodermic needle which is .095OD and .064ID 316-stainless. Currently we use a Kyocera tkf12r100-s-16dr insert which does make the process do-able. However the inserts are very delicate with the speeds and feeds. I do realize they could be ordered from the supplier already cut to length however since we have other operations to do to them, loading a 2in. piece one at a time is not practical.
My question is, does anyone out there see a better alternative or technique to parting these off on a cnc lathe?
Thanks in advance
