Grey Ghost 531 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 There are small extruded aluminum miter boxes available. They have a v-groove in the bottom to hold cylindrical parts. I've never tried to do what you are describing but I bet it would be hard to do even with a miter box. Maybe, cut as close to square as you can and pin the two halves with a bit of wire, Fiddle with the pieces until they're straight and then fill the gap with super glue to hold it that way?

venom Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 thanks for the reply , I think I will only buy 1 piece bombs from now on ,not sure why Aires almost always cast them in 2 pieces anyway . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Probably so they can use one piece molds and still pull the part out without destroying the rubber. If they did the bomb in one piece they'd need a split mold and then THEY would have to worry about misalignment! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
