Flare tool?

[GregWeld]

I cut mine with an air driven "body saw"... You can get real fine blades.

If you don't have one - they're CHEAP at Harbor Freight -- they'll just chew thru blades on the SS tubing.... Then DE BURR -- don't forget that part BEFORE flaring... and I lube the end a bit with spray silicone lube - - and then I blow them out and run some brake clean thru them...

I have limited ways of cutting so I need to get creative.

a 2 inch cut off wheel on a die grinder (or a dremel.. i cant believe i even said dremel out loud) works great on stainless, especially if you cet the right discs for stainless, i have some in 1mm thickness (~1/16 thick) that cut thin wall stuff like butter.. just ce sure to blow the debri out before conecting

Does it work harden if you just use an axe?

Another vote for the mastercool unit. I have virtually no experience in flaring tubing and was able to double flare the stainless tubing perfectly the first time. I just get a good square cut with a bandsaw and ream the inside. Makes a perfect double flare everytime. Check the web and you can find these tools for less than $275 shipped with all the dies. Here is a link that I started on this tool from the sister protouring site.

So instead of fighting the double 45 flares i bought adapters to convert everything over to 3an only needed 12 for the car most will go on the abs unit here.
