As I'm slicing through a pattern bar, when I get to the very end of the slice it cleaves and ruins the cut (and my need for perfection). I'm slicing on a MK 101.

But High fire, in 2 different directions, starts at 1800degF then goes to 2400degF. I think it unlikely, though valuable, that anyone is working this hot. Cone ...
