FooK makes a collector
 

Doing this for a friend who's making a ramhorn, he didnt have the equipment to do it so I took it to work.

Keep in mind I do this stuff on a "hey i have a 15 minute break scramble to do ----" sort of basis.

Basically used shitbirds write up to do it. If you haven't seen the thread, search fuckhead.

The cuts weren't perfect, blades like to walk doing these kinda cuts, so I had a little gap. Tossed a square on the top to make welding easier and to fill the gap.

Should look great once it gets all tigged up.

Enjoy

Good stuff Fook.

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

Damn son. Looks nice :)

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

the outsides look like they line up good. do you think you could use a hammer and punch or maybe just a hammer on the tips on the inside to push them in a bit to close up the gaps? looks good for 15 minutes.

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

Not bad man, what material you using there? Stainless Sched 10?

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

Bling blang bla blaow, good ----.

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

i think i probably have a coarse stone at work i could stick on a die grinder and just buzz them down. I aint too worried about it, I am calling it done as is.

im sure its schedule 10, but out of curiosity i measured it out at work. It translates to 1.75" x .095W

Re: FooK makes a collector

Re: FooK makes a collector

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

sweett!! thanx homie. cant wait til i get her all tigged up..

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

im actually going to look into having a local company that has a CNC laser coper cut these for me.

there was some autocad files of a collector on here a while back, anyone know where they are or want to make one?

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

If you want a CAD or 3d DWG if these let me know through PM the Angle and length. I'll do you up for it at work or at home on my free time.

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

i dunno the angle exactly, but with the two cuts it needs to be 1/4 of the circumfrence at the bottom side so the 4 pieces make a complete 4 sides, and i cut it so that the top of the cut is about 1" from the top of the tube.

want the length of material to be 5"

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

Let me play around with it at work tomorrow at work and see what I can do for CADS dwgs.

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

sweet thanks!

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

---- you its chop saw specialty. ill buzz one up for you jokers tomorrow mornign with my chopsaw and show you whats up/

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

id weld up the inside center of the collector also just to fill that spot in a little, all in all looks pretty good jason

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

thats sexy :6

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

weld up the outside and then stick a pair of visegrips down in there and pinch the points together. It will look great when done.

Later

------- sweet Dan!

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

BEST 15 minute job EVAR!

But, I'd be pretty ---- about making the center of the merge come to a point smoothly... it is THE reason merge collectors work.

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

I've made a couple recently on my bandsaw but it's tough as hell to get the cuts correct. I'm not off by a lot but things certainly aren't perfect. You make a cut and then rotate the pipe 90 degrees for the next cut right? I try to keep the same angles but something is off.

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

After you make your first cut use a square against the guard and the pipe to get your 90 angle. That should make all pieces fit pretty close. Also use real light pressure on the band saw when you start your cut so the blade does'nt walk away from the gaurd. I usually hold up on the head of the saw a little bit until the blade diggs in to keep that from happening. Good luck....

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

I am curious to see how you and dave clamp your pipe to the bandsaw

Re: FooK makes a collector
 

fook, all 3 of us use visegrips on a jig

Re: FooK makes a collector
