Once the main tube's
length was determined based on the factors mentioned, it must be cut
as perpendicular as possible. To achieve this, I used a sheet of
card stock and wrapped it around the tube making certain that the
sheet was snug against the tube and the sheets edge overlapped
perfectly aligned at the point where I needed to cut the tube to
length, which was 39.875". Tape was used to secure card stock in
place, then I used a hacksaw blade to slowly and meticulously etch a
shallow groove around the circumference of the main tube along the
edge of the card stock as accurately as possible.
NOTE: Because of
inaccurate cuts made by the tube supplier, please keep in mind, that
you may have to perform this process for both ends of your tube. |
