Hello to all, this is my second post.
Have been working for almost 8 years on a CNC lathe (soon, when things at work will be less chaotic, to be a 5-axis mill operator), the machine's a "CMT, URSUS PLUS 250".
Before I've always parted case-hardened rods with a cropper, can imagine what cloud of dust is around when I've to crop 32 pieces (Ø40 mm). Anyhoo, have not parted them with the lathe as have never had the right utensils to do so.
One can think: "in EIGHT years you've never upgraded yourself?!". Well, yes, as have only started from August this year to work PROPERLY with the new supervisors; now with these guys in charge I've finally the chance in choosing by myself the appropriate tools.
To avoid having all that dust around, are there any utensils specifically designed to part surface-hardened rods?
Thanks to whoever will answer.
