It's just a steel tube, you could use a pipe cutter. You'd have to file the inside edges, but they cut true. A lathe is definitely nice to have though. I didn't realize how much I used one until I didn't have access to one anymore.

True! Though, I don't have a pipe cutter with that type of diameter capabilities. And I already own a horizontal band saw. And it cut straight enough that once I hit it with the vertical belt sander, i'll be good to go. Though, even that is probably unnecessary. I made sure the orientation of the housing was the same when I made both cuts, so any variance in angle, is carried to both cuts, and therefore, they are congruent to one another. I'll probably be tacking it together today.. though, who knows, I have some work I have to get done for my apparel business (BLAH) so I might not get anything done on the locost today.
Go figure, I can go a year without touching it, and not really have too many feelings about it, but once I might need to skip working on it for 20 minutes over a lunch I get some serious depression.

-- I needed wheel bearings done on my WRX; had to pay someone else 100$/hour to do it... So, the next time, I bought a press for 150$, and have saved so much money since (LOL NOPE).
