schedule 10 has a wall thickness of .109"

OD = 1.9
ID = 1.682

And 1/16th of an inch is .062", so this stuff is just over 3/32" thick, PLENTY. schedule 40 is just a waste of your chopsaw blades. in perspective, ROLLCAGES only require .120" wall mild.

hope that helps dustin.

10 is the way to go... as **** said, your just wasting your chop saw blades with 40. Sch 10 is hard enough to cut as it is.
