     You can also use a three-corner file to score tubing
     while spinning it in a drill motor. After scoring thin
     wall tubing, it will snap off very nicely leaving a
     minimal burr which can be smoothed by touching the
     end of the spacer to a sanding disk while the cutoff
     piece is spun with the drill motor.
