- This gizmo can also be adapted for use with rubber hose, or any other soft tubing material that has a tendency to squish while being cut.

Note: The release of my video shorty following this one was just a coincidence.
I wonder how many of those dislikes are from irrational fear of the occult.
Can we talk about the tubing cutter, and not the illuminati? Just this once? lol.

Found this while trying to figure out how to cut tubing (and then slit) to cover bobbins so the thread doesn't unwind. I will adapt this idea by customizing the thickness of the wood so the cut is the exact length I need consistently.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Smart solution. I think with a little modification you could use this to strip the jacket from solid core electrical wire. Nice build!
Your videos are never too long. I get into them then wonder where the time when. They are so informing and entertaining.
Loving the frequency of your videos, cheers for putting in the effort
I am always happy to find out what other cool things you do pocket
really clever. reminds me of those little tools used to for working with steel armoured cables
Thanks so much for this. I have been looking for a soft tubing cutter that will a leave a nice clean edge but haven't found one. This is perfect 👍
Definitely one of the best homemade tools I've seen.
This is an excellent little solution to several cutting challenges I have in my hobby. Thank you very much for sharing it, and the template.
I love your style of humor
Having used dowels inserted in the tube to aid in the cut, I find your method, Mr Pocket, to be of outmost usefullness. Especially the split jig. Beeing Greek on the other hand, realy did the trick for me today! λωλ... ! Keep it up!
nexus01gr Sorry for that. Keep in mind that if an English-speaking person says that something _looks like Greek,_ they are using the expression as an idiom, to mean that it looks extremely foreign. In the case of the illuminati conspiracy weirdos on the internet, backwards Greek may as well be hieroglyphs or sand-worn cuneiform, so they will, of course, just assume ill-intent.

Oh, don't be sorry! It was (and still is) amusing! To me, that is. As for the weirdos, if they only knew the _real_ truth... -wink, wink, nudge nudge-
I subscribed some hours ago to your channel. And only now I saw this cutter. Amazingly simple but effective. For sure I´ll make one in the near future and try to use it for dismantling electric cables.
"difficulty exaggerated" HAHA....nice! One of my favorite maker channels. Thanks, cheers! Chris.
BELLO IL PROGETTO E LA REALIZZAZIONE.
SALUTI
SALVIO
very nice pocket, always look forward to your next vid!
john gotts Thank you! I have most of the next two done, so I think you can expect one again next Friday ;)
pocket83 Yeah, that didn't happen. I was sick! I explain this on my other channel. There is lots more content there, but I will be posting on this channel soon ;)
That's awesome ! What an ingenious Idea ! I could have used this idea hundreds of times in my working carrier before retirement.
What's up Wayne Thank you, sir. I'm glad if it's useful to you.
Great tools! Simple but very effective.
I like all your ideas du make things properly done. World is a mess, it would be better with many more people like you.
Good idea. Especially liked the pentagram
the half split tube would make a great cable tidy.
CowLunch That is a really good idea.
pocket83 spiraling that cut would make bends easier without deforming ,
you might be able to get two spirals out of one hose
Havana Woody That's true but wouldn't that make it very difficult to place it over the cables?
Not really and it could be even easier if you spiral cut it, using two blades a half inch apart making two for one.
... guided by the fin ... so cryptic and awesome
I love your use to protect pencils!
good idea, I use the same type tube and yes I have one of them crank up cutters, may be now I will make me one of your cutters
Thank you. I love this homemade tool. It's perfect for the task.
Winner, winner, vinyl cutter dinner! Superbulosum!
Thank you for this idea. I have to cut tubing into 3/8 inch slices and was having a terrible time.
thats just like the wire cable stripper I designed. great work good design thanks for sharing.
The splitter is very similar to the wire stripper Mitch of demolitionmission uses to strip casing from copper wire.
nice cuts like that are soo satisfying
Congratulations! Your videos are simply incredible!
If you put the razor blade on an angle on the jig for the split tubing do you think it would make a spiral cable pattern or something?
Very clever and simple too
I have a grommet question - On my ballast there is a rubber grommet which is on my headlamp that I need to put a new ballast on. I removed grill on my truck which the ballast resides on the metal frame and the cable that goes to the headlamp has a double rubber grommet that connect to the outer side of the plastic headlamp and connects on the inner side of the headlamp also with the double rubber washer like grommet. How do I release the grommet to replace the ballast?? Thank you kindly for your mechanic intelligence help. :-)
Thanks for the template! much better cuts than the store cutters :)
Anybody have ideas for the double split tubing? Flexible cordage? Springs? Clamp retainers? Have not seen an executed pragmatic use for the double stripped tubing. If you are using it somewhere please share.
your channel is therapeutic for the mind. awesome experience. :) keep it up, i would love to see more videos
I already miss these videos. :'(
Do you think that the lengthways splitter could be modified to strip the insulation from copper wire?
Arctic Arsenal Interesting. It only takes a scratch, and then you can yank it off. Let me know if it worked.
I have a lot of scrap wire that I have collected at work. I take it to the scrap dealer for them with the insulation on, but I know that it would fetch them more money if it was bare. I'll try this and let you know. Perhaps I'll post a video reply showing it working.
Arctic Arsenal Video replies still exist?!
This. This is amazing. definitely making this.
Brilliant
Oh Pocket, you've made me so happy!!
Now.... any idea how to cleanly bevel the edge??
Bloody brilliant! Thanks for sharing 😉
nice and easy to make , good idea
I like your videos a lot.
It would be unreal to be this guys apprentice.
Sir i want the customized plastic tube cutter for 1.6mm plastic tube i will highly obliged
Good tips.
I'm so glad I know how to keep my pencils sharp
thank you very much !! magnificent !!
Wonderful, thanks you
Great Job!
very clever thanks
Man, that is handy.
@THIS
I mentioned it.
I'd love to but the wood part from you
does it work on rubber ?
Very cool.
if you don't mind answering, what are you able to do as a day / normal job? You seem to have a good amount of time to come up with some neat concepts.
seventy two I'm free tomorrow. What time can you stop over? I'll start marinating the steaks as soon as I've finished my morning coffee.
pocket83 This isn't the answer I expected but it's definitely the reason why I'm still subscribed. Well played.

instead of the FIN why not use second blade?
Андрей Баланцев Try it. But it's more stuff to align. It will also require twice the force to press it through. Alternatively, a single straight blade will not cut as efficiently: thus the curved blade of a katana.
pocket83 Before I saw it I thought you would use something like a piece of cheese wire. Maybe that is not "sharp" enough for the job though.
Hey pocket, having watched you use one in a lot of your videos, I bought a stanley quickslide 2 years ago and use it daily. The problem is I only bought one, and I'm afraid I may lose it one day. Being that they're discontinued now, I was wondering if you had found a source to get them online still? I've spent some time searching and haven't had any luck, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask anyways. Thanks!
Bad news first: you're going to have to fight on eBay in order to get another. The good news is that they last forever! Just keep your precious clean and oiled on the inside to limit wear. As for mine, I have two in service and a few of them still in the wrapper.
The Quickslide 1 isn't bad either. In fact, that's the one I had originally preferred until the simplicity of the 2 eventually won me over. You might find one of those more easily. What about similarly-designed alternatives? Well, I've bought tons of retractable knives in my search for one, and none of them come close. In fact, I was even planning on doing a video on the subject, but it would only come to the conclusion that there _aren't_ any solid replacements for it yet.
If you're devoted enough, it might also be possible to have one machined and/or 3-D printed. The design is certainly elegant enough. I'm that sort of crazy; someday I'd like to make one in brass. Perhaps we should just solicit Stanley to bring it back! Or start an angry online campaign. In the meantime, you'll just have to stalk on eBay.
@@pocket83squared
I had a feeling that was the case, I'll just have to keep my eyes out and hope that I come across one in the future. I love the design, I'm just not sure I am willing to pay over $50 on ebay for another. You were wise to buy as many as you did when you did.
A brass one would be awesome, I wonder how you would go about attempting it. You'd have to cast it I suppose, using a 3D printer to make the negative. Would make a great video.
For splitting the tubing couldn't you just put two razor blades in at the same time to cut both sides instead of one at a time?
where will I find the template for this cutter? thanks
It's in the description.
I am looking to cut latex rubber tubing that is very flexible: 1’O.D. With a 1/16’ wall thickness. Any suggestions for a gig that might be able to make numerous cuts around 3/4” long? Thanks.
That's tough. Something like this might work, if you insert something inside of the latex just to give it a spine. Perhaps PVC pipe that has a 7/8" OD, or wooden dowel. The insert should work nicely once the razor blade has made a sort of track that will allow the razor to pass through. Oh- and lubricate. Seriously. Knife cutting rubber works 50x better with a drop of oil. Mineral oil is perfectly safe to use on latex.
pocket83² I am correct in that you sell plans for me to build this tool?
Sell plans? Haha. No. There's a free printout/template in the description, though. Let me know if it works out! Thanks.
@4:23 I noticed that the razor blade shifted. Maybe you could cross-pin a nail just behind it in the direction of pull to prevent the blade from shifting out and slitting your palm as you grasp the tubing on exit with your other hand. As we all know, repeated removal of wood screws tend to loosen their thread seats over time. Great video otherwise!! In fact, I would characterize your videos as being an antidote to the rash of videos that tout themselves as being "Amazing" when they are really just vanity solutions.
Would this work on PVC tubing? :)
i have a ton, okay maybe 300Lbs, of copper wire to strip, this gives me an idea!
I mentioned it on your video last week...you should consider patenting this stuff. Why should someone else benefit from this great design?
MrMaritoJavier I'll never do it. I have a puzzle that I've been holding onto for years, and I'll take it to the grave before I'll get around to patenting it. We don't live forever; better to share it with everyone, than to have some miserly secret-keeper collect royalties from its restricted use. Call me idealistic, but in the spirit of scientific advancement over selfishness, I hate secrets. Nothing new under the sun, anyhow.
@@pocket83 Bravo pocket83! Ben Franklin didn't patent the lightning rod for similar reasons.
@@pocket83 I admire and appreciate your attitude. This is the same reason why I, as a mathematician, have no interest in working for government agencies doing research (even tho the work is usually incredibly interesting), because all of my results would be kept secret and I would be limited in working with other people. Open source all the way.
Inventiv and original
What can a split tubing be used for?
gamingSlasher By using this process, you can double the length!
What's the significance of 6889, 8968, 8698, 6889... spooky
uberfool63 did you find anything? Each vid has something, maybe you need all the gliphs from other vids to know. Im intrigued as well
Hey! the pocket screw!!
How much would you charge me to make one of these?
Bonnie Schultz he wouldn't. He's a hobbyist woodworker, he doesn't make stuff for people
is the template available on another site? postimg is down.
Ok, I fixed the link. Thanks ;)
thank you very much. Seems easier to make my own cuts then to pay 5-10x as much for pre-sliced tubing :)
I have cats..who eat things...idiot cats. ;)
Do you have a website or email address you publish? Would like to chat with you. I love your videos. I'm pretty math savvy myself and love to build things.
Tyson Deal You can send me a private message through YT if you want, but if it is related to anything I do here, just put it in the comments. I'll read it either way.
That's just a disguised finger skinning device.
Wizard
You'd probably have to cut a lot of tubing with this device to make the effort put into the construction of it worth your while. Cool design, however.
***** No, you just need to encounter a single situation where cutting it neatly is important. I have met such a scenario more than once, so it was well justified. Also, for the viewer, experimentation isn't even involved (and there's even a template), which makes this project a no-brainer. Plus, it's oddly satisfying to use ;)
Why you so cool?
Terrance Storey Was that rhetorical, sarcastic, or do you really want me to explain it to you?
Angle Grinder
Apparently I'm an "idiot moron"... at least according to Google translate

1:2,5 for us that have a quick brain hihi
Do you have a cat answer as a reply and happy Independence Day
What's this crap @1:02?
lol. Forgot about that one. I think you have to appreciate the culture at the time, and my state of mind. I didn't understand anything about presenting to a mass audience! I couldn't believe how petty and unfunny you all were being.
Now I know that every little thing upsets you, so instead of poking back, I just accept it and deal with the duodenal ulcer.
