An overhead roller is used on the first feed conveyor to ensure that constant pressure is applied to the rocket while it is being driven through the rotating tube cutter and the punch-and-drain station. This roller is located between the rotating tube cutter and the first clamp assembly of the punch-and-drain station. 

In order to improve the reproducibility with which lengths of tube can be cut and marked at their mid-point, a tube cutter has been designed. Such a cutter is not available commercially, but it can be made in any well-equipped metal workshop from the published description (Pask, Plesch and DiMaina, 1981). 

Other tools you will need for HPLC are fairly standard for a lab with a few exceptions. I keep two of the small open wrenches supplied with an HPLC system or a column for use with compression fittings, 1/4-in, a 5/8-in box wrench, and a 6-in crescent wrench for column work, a file, a Terry tool tubing cutter, a couple of pairs of blunt nose pliers for tube flexing during cutting, a reversible screw driver, a jeweler s screwdriver for phoenix block s screws, a universal Allen wrench set, an adjustable-head dental mirror (for seeing behind boxes to hook up leads), and a stopwatch for timing flow. The key is to lock up your tool kit to prevent tool evaporation.

A tool-bar is a worthwhile accessory. It is fitted to the back of the lathe and can be used to mount a carbon paddle, or a diamond-tipped glass-tube cutter. The tools are manipulated by a lever attached to the tool bar.

Tube cutter. The tube (or pipe) cutter is a specialized cousin of the hacksaw. It s not as versatile, but it does the job of cutting copper pipe so much more efficiently that it s worth adding to your kit. A tube cutter can look like a wrench with a pizza-cutter-like tooth, or it can be a clamp with the same round blade. Either way, the tube cutter fits around a pipe and you spin it, making a clean slice. Expect to pay about 20.

Use the tube cutter to cut the copper pipe on either side of the leak to remove the broken section. If the broken section is near a valve, joint, or coupling, you may be able to heat the section with your blowtorch, grip it with pliers, and twist it free instead of cutting it. Pulling pipe from an existing joint is slightly preferable, as it removes the... 

CUT NEW PIPE. Measure the section of pipe you removed and cut a section of the same length from new, matching pipe with the tube cutter.
