    Nope... No rejects in my shop.... My guys always double check before they cut...

    Order calls for two lengths... Those were made just before the day ended Friday... Monday we finish up on the second length...:D

    Was joking, because those two were facing a different direction so the cuts had to have been on the wrong side of the tube.....
