That's good advise, but I *do* this.
My problem seems to be more in holding the tube firmly enough without mashing it, and getting a slightly mis-shapen/off-center flare
I bought what I thought was a quality unit, an 'Old Forge' set from a NAPA back in Jersey to replace the el cheapo unit I had before. No burrs, end square; measurements correct (tried a tad over and under just to see if I was misunderstanding.... Hold in it a vise, bee very careful ... No joy.
Maybe I'm using tough tubing.
