Hello -

We'll be cutting thin wall (16G, .062") 304 stainless steel tubing - 1"
x 2" down to 5/8" square. We've got a new Kaltenbach KKS 400E. With
the stock blades (16"), the saw cuts at +/- 50 surface feet per minute.
We'll be atomizing our coolant.

Do you actually need any? Would "atomizing" (whatever that is)
it do any good if you did?
Getting the chips, if any, out of the gulets .....

Our primary objective is to minimize
or eliminate burr.

The burr where, exactly?

Does anybody have experience with this?

I've personally cut tens of thousands of bits of Aluminum
tube ... (very low tolerance on length or much else).
Built a crude wooden guide & let the tubes rotate as
they were being cut .... any burr ended up on the inside ...
which was fine for the application.
Considered automating a tubing cutter too but ..
