How to cut DualVee Track
HOW TO CUT DUALVEE TRACK
DualVee track is made of either AISI 1045 carbon steel or AISI 420 stainless steel and is either hardened or unhardened. The surface hardening process leaves dark discoloration marks on the vee surface.
The best method for cutting DualVee track to your desired length is to use an abrasive chop saw. There are many types, but an abrasive disk saw will cut right through the steel. If you don't have an abrasive chop saw, and relatively few cuts to make, you can use a simple hand hack saw. Another method for cutting would be to use a milling machine and a carbide end mill. The milling machine is very useful for precisely trimming the ends.
