Quest Stiletto Build Part 7, Cutting the Intake Tube

The "bell curve" intake pattern is cut out and set back 1/2" from the end of the tube.

Make the cut with a few light passes.
The Quest 50mm tube is pretty thick, use a sharp blade.
The instructions say you could use a razor saw but that would make for a rougher edge to clean up.

The edges are sanded clean and flat with 220 grit on a block.

In Shrox designs, most all the cuts are made at 45 degree angles.

Above is the cut and sanded intake tube.
Below is the scrap piece, you can still see the rough cut edge.
