You're welcome!

And what you said is exactly why I do this - because I wish someone would have just showed me when I started out.

By the way -- the video I posted - is the way I USED to do this - until I bought some tools and made life easier and faster... but for most guys just doing it once in awhile... the old fashioned "by hand" way works fine.

When I first used to cut this stuff - I used a chisel and a BFH and I whomped it "one and done". It mangles the end but it can be done that way. Keep a really sharp chisel -- and something soft under it to save he chisel. Yeah it wrecks the chisel - but they're not expensive and if you have a grinder - sharpening it doesn't take long.

I found Franks (Prodigy Customs) video on cutting braided hose informative.

Hey Greg- How about a how to on flaring stainless hard line? I've done it on aluminum, but never stainless. Anything special? Your how to's are great by the way. Thanks for taking the time to do them. Jason

Jason...

37* flares in SS -- my one trick pony - 37 degree flare tool with rollers in the cone... $pelled expen$ive tool. The rollers in the flaring cone help with friction etc.

Double flaring SS -- I do with my MasterCool hydraulic flare tool -- and their set of 37* double flare dies.

Yeah -- If I remember ... I'll try to post something up but it's really the same as steel tubing - or aluminum... just better tools. Even then - they're probably overkill but it makes me feel better...

BTW -- The "key" that I've found -- and the pros may have far better information - but the key I've found really is to have the end of your tubing annealed (NOT WORK HARDENED FROM YOUR CUTTING IT) and to ream it so it's burr free WITHOUT making it so thin with your reaming that it splits -- and to lube it just a bit so the flare tool works smoothly - and to use HIGH QUALITY SS tubing. Aircraft quality - seamless - annealed tubing. Cut this important part short - and you end up with a split and leaking pile of crap on the floor.

It's way too much work to bend - cut - polish - blah blah blah -- to have it be a pile on the floor. Get good tubing FIRST.... and take your time to make sure you are detailed in each step along the way. It's not real forgiving like Al YOU MINI EM.... or steel... but it ain't rocket science either. I figure anything a dumbazz like me can do -- so can others. It's like most things - it takes a few screw-ups to make you understand how important some of the little stuff is... and if you pay attention to your failures -- you'll try not to make that particular mistake again.
