Hello.
i use short pieces of small diameter round bar cut to length- (this has got to be about the simplest part on the planet.)
...the only significant requirement is that the ends be square, flat, and as clean and smooth machining as possible.
(NO cup, crown, cut-off tit, wavy or rough surface, deep or spiral tooling marks,etc)
right now, i'm in a hurry for:
12l14 (no sub.) round bar .250 nom diam.
cut to .700" long +.003, -.003"
no finish,etc. -just a really clean smooth cut-off.
- if you have some suggestion, trick, or secondary operation for cleaner/smoother ends, let me know.
-i'd also consider sending pieces already band sawn to rough length, and then you grind or face-off the ends to length, if there's a practical way to do that (???)
all the parts i use are similar, and either 3/16 or 1/4 diameter 12L14 round bar.
the min. quan. is approx 1,000 pc,
the most i usually buy at a time is 3-5,000 but i'd go for somewhat larger or smaller quans to get the best finish and/or price.
again, right now i'm in a hurry for the .250 diam part above..
===any quotes/questions/info out there?====
thanks for any help.
