making a collector
i dont have a band saw like most of you, but i do however have a portaband! what i was thinking to make my collector was get a piece of metal that has a slightly larger ID then the collectors OD and cut my angle on the larger piece and put the smaller piece inside of it to duplicate my cuts. anyone every tried this/think it would work/have a better idea?

Re: making a collector
Unless you're a robot the portaband wont work very well.

Re: making a collector
thats why i said cut a larger piece of metal to the same angle so it would work as a guide so the line would be straight? or maybe a sawzall?

I tried that once. Don't bother.

Re: making a collector
hows about a radial arm saw with an abrasive wheel 8)

Re: making a collector
i used a sawzall and a vise
came out MINT use duct tape as a template for the angles |
Re: making a collector
i think i may try to build a custom jig to hold the pipe at the angle i want it and put it in my radial arm saw with a metal blade. i think if i made like a right triangle jig with a small piece sticking out of the side opposite the right angle to keep it pipe from sliding down would make some pretty nice collectors, yea?
