The tricky thing is that the tube doesn't stay straight when the slot is cut.

Well if you drill it in say three or four places to allow multiple slots to be cut it should leave some structure to it.

I know its not beer related, but they make excellent guitar slides.

Bobby, it was your thread that got me thinking of doing this (sorry, it was a while ago and I forgot where I had saw it).

I laughed out loud when I read your post about getting ready to drop the SS tube on a carbide router bit and then changing your mind.

I thought about putting a screw in each end (in the waste area) into a carrier board.

Good point in your thread about forming the hex before cutting the slot.

This is fairly low on my list right now... Who knows, maybe I'll be the one to try dropping one on a carbide router bit.

This is a completely reasonable solution.

You could definitely get a lifetime supply of slides when you cut up a dip tube lol! Great idea.
