Quick Tip: How to Flare Tube
Tips for a Perfect Flare - When flaring tube, it is important to read all the instructions carefully. Before you flare the tube, deburr and chamfer both edges of the tube, allowing the tube to roll over and create a smooth edge. To deburr the inside edge, use a drill or file and rotate the file in the opening of the tube. The outside edge can be done with a standard file. Tube cracking is caused when the tube is not properly deburred. Do not cut tube with a tube cutter. When the cutter becomes dull, it hardens the end of the tube causing flaring to be very difficult. Flaring tube takes practice and an understanding of how the tools work. Once the practice is put in, the understanding will come. Over tightening the tool will break the flare button. Replacement flare buttons are available. Call (586) 532-1338 for details.
