What do you guys do to cut your brass tubes from long stock. I will have to cut about 60 tubes. Thanks for any help.

I put it in V wedge, cut into a piece of 2X4. I use a small hack saw or a cut off tool in my Dremel. There is also a small tubing saw sold by Penn State if you are going to be cutting lots of tubing.http://www.pennstateind.com/store/TUBESAW.html

I like this little saw as well and spent a few minutes making my own little jig. I use it to cut brass and sterling silver tubes and it works great for both. I keep a 3T resaw blade in my band saw and don't want to change blades just to cut a few tubes.You can get the same saw minus the jig from Harborfreight for $27.99

While I can't answer the question directly about the brass casings, I mainly cut thickwall sterling silver tubes on mine very easily and it's a lot harder to cut than thinwall brass tubes so I'm guessing it will cut brass shell casings as well without any problems.Can that saw from Harbor Freight be used to cut brass cartridges safely as well?

Rather than post photos here, I uploaded some photos I took last year of the little saw. They loaded last to first so it might help to open them #1, #2, etc. They can be seen my photo area.Tex what sort of jig did you build for your little cutoff saw?
