    tube cutter

    Got a 2.75in tube mold, all is fine with it but cutting the tubes is not going so well. Got maybe 2 dozen cut and the cutter fell apart, the series of razor blades just fell out.

    can anyone recommend a cutter that works well?

    I make a cutter from blades, spacers, nuts and bolts for cutting zonker strips from Rabbit hides. You could make a smaller one for cutting tails - I use double edge razor blades I get at wally world.

    Angling ai did have one. I have the deluxe tail cutter block from lurecraft & built a beefed up version of their press to cut my tube tails with. I did the tail in worm oil, lay them on a block of wood under my cutter & press a couple times & they cut them good.
