Default Tube cutting on lathe

Parting is such sweet sorrow?

(Sounds like a lot of work. I've done enough tubing cutting over the years.
I've recently tried to do double flare for auto brake work, and that's
totally a lot of work.)

Good one!

1/2 of 1% gets cut in house, it's just a PITA. I've see the operation at
the the commercial cutter, they do it with a parting tool on a machine
that supports the tube from the inside and the outside, it's like a big
lathe with all automatic operations.
