Cut-off jig for round tubing

[astroracer]

Here is another quick jig I built to cut the front axles for the wagons to length after "dropping" them with a 45* bend. To put in the bend I had to have extra material hanging out past the completed length for the bender to grab onto. PLUS this cut was at an 11* angle so holding the tubing, centered and immobile, was important.
it's just a scrap piece of OSB and a couple of modified Adell Clamps but it worked!

Putting the clamps on the bends keeps the tube from sliding sideways.

Both axles exactly the same.

Very nice .. Stability in cut brings a lot security.

Ahh. Clever, and so simple!
