Summary

This is straight cutter JIG for any 1.75 PTFE tube. ( O.D.=4mm )
Advantage of this design is that we can always guarantee the tube is perfectly cut at right angle by firmly fixing it and always using the sharp part of the blade.
This is must have tool because the quality of cut is important to prevent clogging of filament in nozzle. Simple and works well.
