hey loc where did you get the 10" tube and how much was it? Oh and I tried the new circle cutter today. That this is so acurate, I wish Id known about it before also thank for the hint on using the dremel cutter to cut the flange.

Hey Mario, you need to contact them and ask for the price because the price list on their site is not acurate.
