Greetings all;

An unusual question. How to cut, neatly, and squarely, a 20mm square carbon fiber tube to length, say 550mm out of an 800mm tube. I'm making a linear rail bearing X axis for two of my 3d printers,

I have a die grinder that I can mount in a quick change holder, and a 2" by 30 thou CBN disk and 1/4" arbor, and a 4 jaw chuck on my Sheldon.

Do I need to print an 18mm square plug to insert into this tubing to support the 1mm thick tubing walls, or can a relatively light grip be enough to hold it fixed while I turn slow and cut it off with the CBN wheel running at about half line voltage in the die grinder?

All I can see in my minds eye is a hugely ragged edge cutting it by hand with a hacksaw.

Better ideas anybody?

Thanks All.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
