Meet the tube cutter :
Creates perfect perpendicular cuts on tubes and rods, and can be used to create tin cans :
cut some grooves in a tube then cut the desired length off, glue a disc on one or both ends et voila :

All that glitter's is not gold.
I followed the link and thought :o these are great! then I looked at the price.
How often would I use them? They even look cramped on the model in the photograph,so there no use on smaller buildings.
Most of us use super glue for quick pinning and cutting mats with grids on.So a 90° angle isn't that hard to achive or hold while superglue dries.
I make models for a living,and for me these are up there with rowing machines and wieghts.There bought with good intentions.Then after a couple of tries end up gathering dust,or littering up car boot sales,and Bring and Buy tables.
So for me a thread like this works.Because if I'm honest after hitting the bar at the York show I would have bought a set or two.Then on Monday morning sat down in my workshop and thought 'you idiot'and'I hope I can claim the tax back on these before I bin them'. :D

Now I have plumbing tube cutters, but I've never thought of using them on styrene tube that small. I'm surprised they work well. Thanks zizi666
