Square Cuts on Tubing
Gary SimpsonDescription
When working on your car, you know, sometimes you need to make a straight or square cut on a piece of tubing. This could be a bit of a challenge. Unlike, you know, a piece of flat stock, you can just run a straightedge across it. But on tubing, you know, it's easy to, if you're not dropping it into a bandsaw or something that's just gonna chop it off, you know, it's easy to accidentally get the cut just a little bit baloney-sliced. And that affects the quality of the project you're working on.
Way to get around that is to cut like a two-inch piece of paper and simply wrap that around the tubing and when the edges meet up or match up, then you know that's a straight cut all the way across and you can just take a Sharpie or a pen, something to mark the metal with and you've got your line to make a straight cut.
