Ventura 880482 Saw Guide Review

It's designed for a vise, but I was able to cut aluminum tubing with a hacksaw by clamping it to my knees. The cut is smoother than expected.

After cutting, I smoothed the top of the stem *neatly* with a file to remove rough edges (careful - don't rub the carbon fiber layers too hard - they will…
