Fliskits MACME Shrew Build, Part 7, Tube Cutting



After cutting, lightly sand the cut ends flat.

The fit of these segments is important.
Make clean cuts and don't sand off any more than you have to.




Here's the edge sanding before and after.


When I got to the last "D" segment, there wasn't much holding the cutting guide on the tube.
It slipped and I ended up with a bad cut.

Small pieces of Scotch tape were rolled over the ends of the tube to keep the cutting guide in place for another try.


Here's the first dry fit of the body tube segments.
The second try at the tube cuts were worth it.
