that requires sections of 1.5inch stainless

perpendicular. It doesn't need to be aerospace accurate, but they need
to look good. In the past I have sliced them with a parting blade on
the lathe, and knocked the burr off the edges with a file while it
parting. Its not great, and I still need to lightly face the parts. I
probably just need to try it and see, but I was wondering if it might be
faster to just section them to rough length on the horizontal bandsaw,
and then face them to length. I guess I should go look up some SFM
numbers to see how fast I can saw cut 304.

I was also thinking if I make a spider I can lock the carriage and face
the to length in batches.
