- I cut all my tubing with a chop saw and I own a Rockwell tester...there is almost no hardening at the end of the tubing to speak off. Besides, don't you guys grind the fishmouth on the tube end? That

- You guys who build more than one car or bike should invest in a 2" belt sander. Get one with about a 6 inch diameter rubber lower wheel on it. You can fishmouth tubing faster than you will believe. K
