Rush Machinery offers the Auto-Cut, a CNC cutoff machine for carbide tool and carbide rod manufacturing. The machine is said to be able to double the production rate for cutting carbide and hardened steel rod when compared with manual cutoff machines, featuring CNC controls with a touchscreen operator interface. Parameters can be quickly set for rod diameter and length. The machine automatically loads and cuts rods from a large-capacity magazine that can hold rods in diameters ranging from 0.055" to 1 9/16" (1.4 to 40 mm) and in lengths ranging to 16". The machine also comes with a flood coolant system.
