I need a recommendation for a machine to cut High-Carbon Steel to length. The profiles are rectangular (.125" x 1" or smaller). Hardness is in the 40's, Rockwell C. Precision must be +/-.001". Ballpark estimate for cut time is 20 seconds.
I can use search engines just fine, but I was wondering if anyone had any actual experience with various machines that might help us make a decision. I'm not limiting this to a particular type or brand - it could be a traditional cutoff grinding wheel, a circular saw, a CNC grinder, a Wire EDM, you name it. We need something that can run day and night for years and still work in the long run.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
