Review on Accurate Tube Cutting Jig with Scale - SFC Tools Premium 53-185 by Brad Lovro

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great tool, but there are a few limitations that don't make it 5 stars in my opinion.

Overall works well and is nicely made. However, a lever or rod bent over the workpiece may be slightly less secure, which is a minor design issue. If you are working with a very thin workpiece and do not have a high TPI blade, you will find it difficult to hold it by hand without the teeth catching in the kerf, leading to blade breakage and other problems. So I took it off the handle and put it in my vise where there are no such problems but a slightly more secure vise would be a good idea. In terms of overall quality and usefulness, it's great, but with a few tweaks it could easily have gotten 5 stars.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Reliability
