What do you use to cut piping?
Well the only things that come to mind are:
Bandsaw Chop saw Sawzall Bandsaw it out of the question, I'm not going to spend that money just for my piping. There are cheap chop saws on ebay for around $60, I'll get one of those as a last resort because I'm sure it could do IC piping no matter how cheap it is. I am currently bidding on a used Milwaukee sawzall, because I can do a lot more with it than I could with a chop saw. Lots of bids though and I may get beat out at the last second. Does anybody have any cheap methods of cutting the piping? I have a dremel but thats just straight up ghettp. Guess I could use it if I have to. Any input is appreciated. |
Re: What do you use to cut piping?
Hack saw. $5.99 and a little muscle. I made all my IC pipes that way and it took about 3 min per cut i had to make. With a good metal blade it doesnt take much to cut the pipes.

I just use the sawzall cuz the chopsay has a wood blade on there, too lazy to fix that ---- when I can just pop blade in and out of the saw.

Re: What do you use to cut piping?
hacksaws suck. You have to work, and the cuts end up all over the place. Chopsaws own.
|
Re: What do you use to cut piping?
i had a wood circular saw laying around, just went to wal-mart and got a metal blade for it and it works jus tlike a chop saw. Just an idea if you already got a circular saw.
|
Re: What do you use to cut piping?
I ain't got ----, except this Milwaukee sawzall that should be in the mail.
I'm gonna go around my house cutting stuff when I get it just for fun. O0 I haven't used a sawzall since I worked at the exhaust shop. |
