I seldom have problems with wood cracking when I press in the components, but some of the more brittle plastics can be an issue when the tolerance is too tight between the tube and the fitting. Also, I sometimes like to increase the inside diameter of the tube on really expensive blanks as a precaution. Currently I use a rat tail file to do this, but I'm thinking there must be a better/faster way. What do you use to accomplish this task? Thanks. (Note: the cracking is NOT due to glue being left on the inside of the tube)
