I've lost my (read Peter's) pipe cutter and was wondering if anyone had any tips on cutting metal tubing straightly, mine seem to be edging slightly to one side so one side of the tube is longer than the other!  ::)

Masking tape. Wrap round so the ends match and use as a guide.

Buy another pipe cutter - dead cheap!
She's made of real glass. She got real real emotion. But my heart laughs I have that same sweet devotion!

You know those nit combs of metal, with very fine slits? If you fix one of those in the vice they make a good sawing guide as well  :)
