Duramax Ultra-X Cuts Cleanly

Here's an image of a finished 45 degree cut. This was cut from Duramax Ultra-X. It is important to keep in mind that these Gore style packings can dull a razor blade quickly so rotate in a new blade if the old one is cutting poorly. Razor blades are cheap.

Nikon D40
1/125s f/8.0 at 45.0mm iso1600 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

The best article I've seen on the subject of packing gland replacement. The photos are excellent. Thanks for the terrific advice on which-wrench-moves-which-way to either tighten or loosen the packing nut!
