Re: [TCML] TUNGSTEN TUNGSTEN TUNGSTEN



I "cut" tungsten rods this way.

Clamp the rod in a vise and file a notch in it where you want the cut. 
Don't use your favorite file.  Then, with the notch right at the point
where it's clamped (the piece you want is sticking out, the rest is
clamped in the vise), wack it with a hammer and it will snap right off.

If you really want the ends flat you can probably clean it up with a
grinding wheel but often they snap off pretty clean.
