A couple of millimeters out would be fine. You just need to bring the tubing flush with the clamp and make the flare.
A 45 degree flare can be made with this machine.

A double flare tool I already owned was useless for cooling lines since I needed a single flare tool. With this kit, I was able to clamp copper tubing as well as the more expensive double flare kit I already had, and those fitting flares were perfect. Due to the one-shot flare kit design, there are no dies to determine how much of the tubing in the assembly needs to be exposed, and you get to flare once It was all it took to get the job done with one shot and a tiny bit of lubricant on the cone (later wiped off to avoid refrigerant contamination). The flaring tool is a good basic Just don't flare a brake line on an automotive vehicle. Perfect for plumbing and gas, but not for.
This was quite useful when I was installing my mini-computer It consists of two individual air conditioning units. The flare process worked very well for the 1/4" tube, but for the 1/2" tube, it took several tries. It is very important that the flaring bars are clamped very tightly around the tube, otherwise the tube will push out of the flaring bars during screwing down of Using vice grips on the wing nuts, I was able to secure the flaring bars firmly around the tube. This is an excellent product for the price.
In order to figure out all of its quirks, I had to figure out all its idiosyncrasies It is important to clamp the tubing evenly in both ends (watch the gaps, and make sure they are even as you screw down the wing nuts), how tight to clamp, how far out to leave the tubing for the flare, and how much torque to apply during flare. My flares are now perfect every time I make them (what I think is perfect), after a few practice flares. I can now test the vacuum and pressure of my AC linesets with these flared fittings and they hold for hours.
There's no doubt this is built well and is sturdy. There is only one thing I don't like about this product it's a little hard to keep the flare screw piece in place over the 1/2 and 5/8 holes.
Since I last used a flare tool, it has been a long time. In my case, I need to make 4 flares in 1/2" copper pipe. I didn't want to rely on a cheap tool that would break later, nor did I wish to spend a lot of money on four My project required the use of this tool today, and all 4 flares came out well. This is a very good tool, and I don't hesitate to recommend it to others.
The flare will be made with this product, but it is inefficient and cheap. In my case, I had to make a flare in a 1/4 inch water line. The first thing to watch out for is that where it is stamped "1/4", it To the left of the sizes, there is a stamp. By looking closely at the tool, you can see that the markings are offset to the left. In addition to the rough finish, the second aspect is the color. There were a few tiny score marks on the copper tubing after the flare was made. The water came out of them a tiny bit leaking when they were tightened. It won't be an issue if you want to use it on a brake line or air line, but on a brake line or an air line it will be.
My test flares worked well with a 5/8 inch copper gas line. I found the optimum position of tuning through a few test flares. The screws did not need to be tightened with pliers or a wrench, just the handle on the tool did it. I had no leaks in my propane tank connection as a result of the flare.
