bojon Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I use the #10 flat steel washers.The tails come out at about the right size for my liking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toadfrog Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I think it is direct from somebodies work shop or kitchen . Might look into manual pasta cutters . If it exists for sale I bet you can get it out of Itally . LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 If I remember right, the one shown here was made with pizza cutter wheels on a through axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Here's the thread in home brew tools: http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/index.php?/topic/8409-looking-for-a-tube-tail-cutter/ Bojon is the builder who posted about the rotary cutter. I don't know if he's still active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I have one somewhere haven't seen it in awhile but its made with one of those narrow paint rollers and has several (10 or so) rotary fabric cutter blades (pricey) with washers separating the blade. You can simply adjust the width of your tails by increasing or decreasing thickness of washers separating the blades. Sadly Bojon had some health issues and hasn't been on in over a year now.

Chris, I gave you Bojon's complete tube dvd and tail cutter along w/ the one I made when I changed over to injection tubes.Too many caveats for me associated w/ the inconsistencies of cutting tube tails.I've never looked back.
