Right, thanks for all your suggestions. As you can imagine everyone has ideas and so I`m going to use a combination of what has been suggested. I`ll concern myself with the drilling and fitting later, but for now to cut 60 pieces of music wire my intention is to use the diamond tool on a dremel as Peter has recommended. I`ll then be using a holder for the dremel to fix it to my lathe cross slide as a few of you have mentioned. I`ll then make an extremely simple jig to cut to length by drilling a steel bar just to the length of what I`m after and just slightly over size. I`ll then push my wire into the hole in the bar and use the dremel mounted on the cross slide to cut to size by having the cutting disk right at the face of the wire holding bar jig. I can hold the back end of the wire or when too small, hold it in the chuck in the tail stock. Nothing will actually be turning in the lathe chuck, the lathe is just being used to safely hold and manipulate the dremel and cutting jig (bar with hole!) How does that sound? Worth a try ... safe enough? Chris |

Sounds ideal. The parts will be pretty short; I think you said about 1/4". How are you going to hold them to deal with the chamfers? Andy |
