Hi all,
Without going to much into details, I am trying to find the best option in terms of material for a cutter that is used every second (1.125s to be exact) and that cuts through a steel wire (max 1/5" thick).
At the moment, we are using steel cutters that are changed every 4000 pieces because of deformation at the cut. It take between 10-20 minutes to change them. This can slow down production considerably.
Anyone have any suggestions in terms of material for a cutter that would prolonge its life and produce quality cuts (which is very important). My inexperience makes me think right away of diamond cutters, but I believe they can be brittle?
I appreciate any comment that could lead me on a track. Thank you
