I'm sure I could tack them together and probably fill with weld though out of 6 if needed.Please feel free to submit static images, dynamic images, videos, memes. not exactly the most accurate way of doing things and it possibly ended up cutting at slightly less than 7.5 degrees as I seem to need 7-8 pieces rather than 6 to make a 90 degree elbow. I set the bevel gauge to 7.5 degrees and span the pipe 180 degrees through each cut and eyeballed the distance. but it was fairly time consuming with a dremel for the afternoon.Īlso. Not sure which method produced the least burrs to remove. I'll have to get some calipers between the guard and the disc and measure the amount lost on each method of cutting. But possibly wearing the wheel too quickly? I found that standing above the machine and applying slight leaning pressure allowed for a quicker cut, with less sparks. it spins at 3750rpm with a 2200w motor.ĭo I let the blade to the cutting which seems a tad slow slow and possibly lets the cut pipe area get a little hot and discolor from the heat generated?

That would of been the cheapest of options which may have produced a fairly nice cut! Just not ideal trying to mark and cut the pipe on each cut.Ĭertainly under estimated the toughness of stainless. I will probably want a decent plasma cutter to try and cut out some suitable flanges, don't mind a little surface prep and what the angle grinder left wasn't too bad. Downpipe will be larger but its all rear engined, rwd so all quite short!Īs for how many cuts I'll be making it could be a fair few Rig Pig. Maker, Plan is to try and fabricate a little 2 cylinder turbo manifold for a tiny wee engine! the exhaust ports are only 29mm so the 32mm 1.5mm wall pipe should be ideal for the primaries.
