Re: Cutting stainless steel discs

Last year my team used a bandsaw to cut 1" keyed stainless steel rod. We used a lathe to scribe each cut. Worked fine. You could try using a mill with a solid carbide bit, that should do the trick (I heard the lighten those KOP gears in minutes). They are relatively cheap if you have the piece to hook it up to the mill. If i had to get one, Id buy <Vibration-Free Rough/Finish Carbide End Mill 3/8" Mill Dia, 2-1/2" O'all Length W/ Square End> part number <8745A13> from McMaster. Its $42.38. It would be a good investment if you need to make alot of them.
