Re: [ATM] Cutting large-diameter PVC

[Kevin MIchael Zabbo <chaosopher23@yahoo.com>]

I like that fence idea.  I already have a piece of
aluminum flashing the correct length to mark the tube,
now it's a piece of plywood and I'm almost done with
the tube.  I can even use the cutout plug for a mirror
mount backing...

Many thanks!
