Usea sharp triangle file to cut a few cen-
timeters from theendof theMXT col-

theendof the columnanytime you run it
through a graphite ferrule as the sharp
edgeof the column can shavegraphite
off into theboreof the columnwhere it
can cause the peaks to tail.
Support the columnwith your fingertips
and drag the file firmly across the tubing
inone swiftmotion.
Place your fingernail under the file cut
