Rubber Cutter

A custom cutter permits a nice finish on very soft rubbers such as OO durometer sorbothane.

Cutting with oil at 500 RPM with 1 inch/min feed rate resulted in a beautiful finish. Removal of the part from the slab was easily achieved by avoiding cutting all the way through, leaving a 0.010" flash at the bottom.

50 of these were cut to be used as vibration dampeners.
