I probably need about seven feet. Not sure if plastic is gonna be durable enuff it will be subject to vibration and maybe a bit of heat [Reply]   [No Email]

I would clamp the tubing to a sheet of plywood. Then make a carrier on wheels to hold a dermal or die grinder. Choose a cutting wheel the thickness I needed, fasten some runners to make sure the cutting wheel was on center of the tubing. I would then run the cutter wheel the distance of the tubing making a shallow cut then lower it a small amount for each pass until it was slit all the way thru. The most time would be in the setup. Much like most of my tooling jobs I do. [Reply]  [No Email]
