Extra tubes

[Woodchipper]

Noted this suggestion on another post. Good idea as I have a number of extra tubes. Have gotten in a jam and didn't have the right length. So...I either cut the tube down or used two tubes and cut off the extra length. A patient search on the supplier list can uncover the common diameters.

Or use the IAP Bushing and Tube app.

Don't use two tubes, as you are creating a weak point and can very easily break the blank in half.

Never had a problem with one time. Turned as usual. To order extra tubes, one spends the money plus S&H to buy five tubes. When I bought kits, always bought extra tubes.

I used to buy extra tubes for any new style I added to my stash, but now I only do it if the kit uses some non-standard tube diameters. For the standards, I bought packages of long (10-inch) tubes and I cut them down to match a specific kit if I need an extra tube. - Dave

Great minds think alike.
