Good Evening Paul,

        I did it years ago. I made a jig to hold a glass cutter. The jig
was nothing more then two pices of plywood at ninety degrees to each
other, with a grove to hold the cutter.  Then you sniped off the top of
the tube.  place the tube in the jig an rotate. Then next step is to heat
the glass along the cut. I used Ni-crome wire and a small Varic to heat
the glass till it broke free.  Took a few tries, but i did get it to
work. Then use a good grade of emery cloth to smoth off the edges.
