How easy does that work?

I tried the "knife thing" last night and it works really well....much easier than the dremel thing, and no heating of the brass from the high speed wheel (damn burning fingers ).

Thanks!!!

like a g clamp except it has two rollers at the bottom that the tube sits between and a round gutting blade that is adjustablethat comes down from the top ,you do the wheel up against the tupe ,hold the tube in one hand and rotate the the hole thing around the tube,this cuts a grove ,do it up a little more and do the same thing ,the grove gets deeper ,keep doing it and it wil cut it off
hope this helps
Kind regards Peter
