Tim, nice choice for the e-cap, I really like those Solen Fast Caps for low values and high voltage. They have worked well for me well. I know, not an e-cap exactly as not polarized.
I have never tried the tube cutter (I don't have one) but use a dremmel with cut off wheel and cut a little lower than you did. My idea was to have the can slip into the lower base which is slightly larger in diameter. I take both pieces to an old combo disk/belt sander with a table for the disk and a square slide to keep it flat to the disk. I touch up each piece to square as the dremmel and my skill doesn't work that well. Then the can will slide right into the base section, a perfect seam to expoxy but the can will stand slightly shorter, perhaps 3/16".
Nice job so far and looking forward to progress.
