Philipp mentioned having issue with obtaining square edges on cut tubing. This is a handy tool I use.

Some assembly required. It ships flat but snaps together. There is a reusable silicone sticky pad that adheres the sand paper to the support plate. Super easy to use and trues up the cut edges quickly. I got mine from HLJ ages ago but it doesn't show on their site.

It's a really hand tool. Hope you can hunt one down.

Re: Squared off cut Tube Edges
Just ordered one. Looks much easier to use than my True Sander.

Re: Squared off cut Tube Edges
The link doesn't work anymore but I knocked up something to square edges and create accurate and repeatable angles, it's called a 'shooting board'.
Maybe useful for others?
