ok thanks I'll give them a bell - I'm basically wanting to be able to spin a strut tube, so the bed has to be pretty deep

they have jigs for doing that. If you are shortening tubes and re-threading, another option is you can buy a threade sleeve type thing from autolign such that you just cut the strut, and weld this but on the top, its what i used and works mint. Then again i have no idea what ur actually doing

[Dunny]

Yeah thanks - you're totally on the wrong track

But anyway all sorted have found a guy to do it so hopefully all will turn out well.

Cheers
