Re: Making brake lines, am I pressing too hard?

Yeah I'm using the male fitting first, then the cone. The instructions say to make the line flush the the die, but that didn't seem to work too well. I tried it sticking out a bit more, and got a better result. Will keep trying.

I have also heard not to use the tubing cutting tool provided, as it hardens the end of the tubing, but not sure if there is merit to that.
