Pressure fitting 1/32" wire to make a pin wheel.

<< < (3/8) > >>

Chris,

I have cut 1/16" stainless on my sherline. Basically it's a deep score, then I bend it to and fro until it breaks.
I clean the ends on a small grinding wheel (Dremell).

But a 1/16'' is not 1/32nd. whether it would work with 1/32nd I have my doubts.

I would just cut them and clean the ends up.

Well thats my 2p's worth.

Pete, thanks for the link but I hit a search page... I can`t see a 25mm one. I can only see two diamond disks, one has cooling holes in and the other is solid and available in 20mm dia or 38mm.

raynerd:
Pekka, I really appreciate your time taken and the photos posted but I know my limits and I really think that I`d bend the rod. I have struggle parting in general and I think something so small I`d really struggle with, besides, I`ve no cutting tool that would be suitable - I expect a dremel like Pete is saying is likely to be my first port of call.

raynerd:
Pete, this the one:
