    C-bag,
    I'm glad you found it helpful! Guide rollers would definitely help for keeping the tubing straight. I've looked at high end semi-automated ones, and they have those rollers.
    I have found that just welding a piece of flat steel to the end makes a nice reference point, and an assistant can help keep it from twisting then.
    This weekend I picked up 2 sets of roller dies for 1/2" square tubing. There's enough material there that I can turn one set on the lathe for a different size of tubing... maybe 1" square.
    I agree, with HF low prices, I feel no hesitation to modify their stuff!
