In a lathe, ideally.whats the best way to cut these pushrods
...lacking that Jake suggested an arrow shaft cutting jig, others have said it works well.
You could probably rig something that works decent with some angle iron and a thin (reinforced) cutoff wheel on a dremel.
You should be able to PM doc and reset your passwd.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Tubing cutter, just like you would use for brake line or fuel line.

Re: im back
Yes, and if you have any doubt, get a new, sharp wheel for it. Tighten a wee bit at a time, so you distort the tube as little as possible, and to leave a very minimal burr. I just did a set this wayBuggsy wrote:Tubing cutter, just like you would use for brake line or fuel line.
