A small bench vise is fairly inexpensive and is a necessary tool in robotics.Cutting the Tubing with a High-Speed Rotary Tool
To cut the tubing with a rotary tool, first place the tubing in a vise (see Figure 20-11). Gently tighten the vise,
but make sure it’s not too loose or the tubing will slip during cutting, and not too tight or the tubing will be
crushed.
