I just started using a lot more tubing brass,aluminum etc.So my question is this what do you use to cut your tubing and get a strait uniform cut?I've been using my hobby knife with undesired results.


Thanksin advance,
Justin

Justin, I have one like this for tubing down to 1/8 dia.

Also check out the ME-410 thread, he had one photo where he was using a miter box and a razor saw to score the tubing before snalling it appart.
