Looking for examples from a safety and ergonomics standpoint of what companies use to trim/cut ~3/4" thick cured rubber (e.g.: mill knives, heat knives, ultrasonic knives, saws of various types, etc.). Also interested to know what has been tried and not worked well.

What shape are you trying to cut? Is it consistent each time like a part or is it irregular?
Where are you trying to cut it - can the rubber be moved to a cutting table or station or does it have to be cut somewhere with space constraints?
