what is the easiest way to shave a lead pipe? today i had to renew a basin with lead hot and cold, and a lead waste. after draining a 40 gallon tank which only fed this whb, everything else on the main (basin in a bedroom). found that 6lb lead lock too big, 5lb lead lock too small, so spent over an hour shaving down the lead h+c tails with a stanley knife only to find that the waste needed shaving down as well. is there a tool or trick to that trims back the lead quickly and leaves the sides nice and smooth?
