Is There A Certain Way To Cut Macro So That It Stays In The Fitting? If There Is Can Someone Provide Picks.

Thanks

Just cut it at a 90 degree angle to the surface..... and make sure its straight. Your not supposed to cut it anyway else

Ya just cut it at a 90* and make sure you cut it long enough to lock into the fitting.

[VS2 King]

what do you mean 90* can someone show me a pick that would be great

thanks

straight up and down

Yep, don't cut it at an angle. When you measure it out, measure it to near the back of the macro fitting. Its better to have a little more, than not enough.

It's best to use a pipe cutter that you spin around it so that you don't unevenly pinch it, and cause angles, but usually i just use wire cutters and it never makes any difference.

ok thanks everybody for posting

I just use an exacto knife. Even if its not a *perfect* cut, it usually seals fine anyways. Making sure you have enough is important though.

I usually use a razor blade, and just push straight down with the macro sitting on a textbook or something I don't mind it possibly getting cut.

Edit: The razor blades I use are replacement blades for exact knives, as Hob said above me.

i chew mine to the right length... no just kidding, just lay it flat and cut straight down...
