Screw / Threaded rod cutter

[RickP330]

Hello Gang,
I have to cut alot of small threaded rod, Metric M3x.5 thread. I really don't want to cut 100 pcs with a wiz wheel. Can anyone reccomend a specialty tool which would be proper for the job? I found a threaded rod cutter but it is in inch size only and doesn't go this small. Last resort would be a nice pair of dikes but then I have to finish the threads.

Much thanks in advance!!

Do you have any friends that have a band saw, maybe you could buy them a few beers for a short time using their saw.

if you screw on a couple nuts before the cut and then run them off over the cut it might clean them up good enough...depending on what you're doing...

edit: what's a wiz wheel?

Something like this http://www.mroelectronics.com/mro/product.php?id_product=4716 would get the job done.

I was quite surprised at how well they work on threaded rod.
