Use a hose clamp. Yeah, I know you would have to keep moving it. :thinking:

Believe it or not Terry, there is a way to do this and not have to move the clamps but one time. Stand by and thank you. Jim, the glued on plates are a good idea also. I just never had to resort to any other way than gluing them.

Re: New Project

I would like to end the day with two of these without the Taper shown by the broken lines. The Taper is the last operation.

Re: New Project

First shot cut small diameter. Clamp is in place. Second getting ready to cut large diameter, clamped at small end. This is working real well. Only problem is that the operations are now out of sequence. Time will tell any ill effects.

Re: New Project

Thw War Department says I have to stop now. I've spent too much time down in the "Cave". That statement translates to I want you to go with me. :lmao::lmao::lmao:

One is fit. It is tight but it needs to be right now. When the profiles are cut in the tube it will be split. The amount remove by the Kerf will make it fit perfect. )
