    Default Cutting tubing

    I have the need to cut 25 mil tubing.
    -25 by 4mm tubing to be exact. and some 50mm by 9mm.

    -Any advice from anyone on this subject?

    -I am thinking that scoring it 360 degrees and then heating it with a very hot kiln element wire to stress it would work.

    -I do not want to water jet cut it.



    -Is there a way to cut tubing with sound? i have heard of this.


    -Maybe lasers? what kind of laser would I need?


    -This is a link to some ideas, I am not fired up by these search results

    Thank you for your help.


    -I have 600+ cuts to do per month and I do not want to have to clean up after the mess that a wet saw would make. (inside and outside of the tubing).
