Not sure if its even an issue, but I was wondering if I cut a 1"
precision linear shaft with something like a chop saw if I would
distort and ruin a portion of it from the heat. If in doubt use the
hacksaw I suppose.

I need two 20" pieces, but the best price I found was for a single 63"
piece. I suppose I could also just cut them a little bit long and let
them stick out on the open end.


Wrap both sides of the cut with really soaking rags, and it should limit
the heating to right around the cut.
