I have some tungsten/rhenium wire. 20% rhenium. 0.020 inches thick (0.5mm)
I want to sell it by the foot. It is rather hard and I want some
creative ideas on how to cut it without ruining the cutting
implement.
Thanks

You would need carbide tip cutters . I have a couple suppliers that I use
What price do you sell this material at?


Regular cutters seem to work also. I sell it for $3 per linear
foot. Sold a lot already.

Maybe I could make a knot-type wire wheel for you, make a hell of a brush!
