I would like to see ANYBODY cut 2" x .049" wall tube with a tube

I might not be able to supply video, but 2" emt with 0.065 walls can
be cut.

you might want to check out your local electrical supplier for
tools...

I can see

being useful (but not cheap) both for cutting and cleaning at the same

"SA90 cuts steel, stainless steel, titanium, copper and PVC tubes and pipes with a maximum O.D. of 3.550" and wall up to 0.250""

2.3 seconds per piece...
