The rebuilding is about to begin after the "crash". I've decided to build all my antennas from scratch, so I'm looking at some help with construction. Since there will be a need to cut LOTS of tubing

This may sound kind of silly, but I have had real good luck with my little Dremel Moto-tool (or whatever it is called). Just like the ad on TV. It cuts and grinds and does all kinds of things. I use

Fred, when you say you have to make 1/32 to 1/16 deep passes, what type of saw? Table, or maybe a radial arm saw? Phil N9LAH _______________________________________________ __________________________

For my antenna projects and other ham puttering I have a semi-frequent need to cut aluminum stock as well as PCB material, occasional brass, etc. I'm not talking anything really heavy duty - 1/4 inch
