Hi Folks,
I have a 1-3/4" thick carbon steel bar that I'd like to slice discs off of - about the thickness of coins.
What's the best way to go about that would you say? I have access to a full metal shop but clearly am pretty new to best procedures and practices.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Doing it on a lathe with a cut-off tool would be one way to get nice even disks (assuming you're starting with a round rod and not a square bar). If your carbon steel is hard, you'll need to anneal it first before this will work.
