Boy lots of feeback on this one!
Sorry -- first time I missed that he was cutting TUBING.
I was thinking of a 2" solid bar.
Ya, tubing cutter is the best.
I got a couple of people asking why I did not recommend
using a chop saw on brass... uh, they work great on
steel but with aluminum, or brass you just clog up
the cutting disc. It will make it though, but produces
a "melted edge" of what you are cutting. [Is anyone
aware of a 14" cut off blade for Aluminum/Brass? ]
Anyone have a good source of Brass Rod? Need some 4"
diameter brass rod, but only in short sections (i.e. 4").
Making up some little flywheels for a project.

P.S. I did order the "DC motor for a treadwheel"
(0 to 5000 rpm, 1hp.) from American Surplus for the
"distributor machine". I'll post a follow up when
it arrives, and details on what I am up to.
