I've never experienced any issues with pipe slipping through the die, and always managed to produce good flares on kunifer and steel.

Thanks for verifying the measurements on the Saville pipe, Looks like I do indeed have a poor batch. two rolls infact
I have asked the company what tolerance their pipe is supposed to be. will be interesting to hear their feedback.
When I clamp the undersized pipe in the jaws, basically I have no gap, so hopefully with the new pipe there is more consistency.
