i can't find a technique to cut body tube. i need to cut about 1" length from a 3" diameter tube that was damaged by being dragged on a windy day on a lake bed. i would also like to learn how to cut slots in tube to mount through wall fins.

Check out apogees website under their advance videos
I was thinking about making one,one side of the tube would have to be a perfect 90 for it to work. It would be simple to make as long as you start with material that is cut square. I would drill a hole through an exacto knife and screw it down tight. Attaching it to a slide rule might be cool.FYI it was paper tube. i left forum after afterburners suggestion and went apogee's site, ended up staying up until 1 a.m. watching video. i'm sure wife was wondering what kind of videos i was was watching in the middle of the night
has anyone made any kind of jig or tool that hold the tube and the blade or knife that could help me get a straight and true cut?
