    Cutting a pipe into two, waterjet or laser

    I have a piece of stainless steel pipe.

    About 11mm in length. 1 inch outer dia, 5/8 inch inner dia.

    Anybody can cut it into two pieces, about 4:7 ratio?

    Any technology that can minimize kerf would be great. I read up maybe waterjet or laser cutting would work.

    Just trying to make a pair of wedding rings for myself.

    you could use wire-cutting for the work, it will work the best.

    Why not cut it with band/hacksaw and then face on lathe, or simply use parting tool on lathe?
