Yep

That's exactly what I was thinking. Simple and quick lol

Yup... I thought it was going to be some weird 3 piece shape and angles... nope ..nothing a Harbour freight mitre gauge won't solve

Username checks out

You telling me, too much work

My chop saw: 😴

Creativity is the mother of invention. You keep doing things the same old way and watch your creativity diminish.

@@TheRealMonnie k... We're talking about simple miters! it is not freaking artistic expression... There is a difference between being creative and being ignorant...

Monnie Holt 😂😂 Do you know the reason we do certain things the same way for centuries? Because it’s the proven to be the best way. Ever heard the phrase, no need to reinvent the wheel? That applies here.

That is handy when using an angle grinder to cut the pipes for right angle joints like what is done in the video. Of coursse doing so would be esier and faster on a miter saw if one has it.

Not everyone has miter saw smart guy. This video is useful for people with angle grinders and simple tools and for small projects OR when the pipe is too big for the miter saw (didnt think about that, did ya?). The point is to display practical and creative skills thought out of necessity. By your logic "everyone" can just use a pipe guide and mark it up smoothly and cut up everything in one go.

aye, that's what I was gonna comment!

Good tip! A 45° angle is just the classic rise-over-run equilant of 1unit rise/1 unit run. This comes from geometry and the equation for a line: y = mx +b, where m is the slope of the line and is defined as: (change in y coordinate)/(change in x coordinate), in other words rise/run.

Yes that would be the normal way, or you can waste your time making a paper template

@@SparrowHawk183 Buzz kill, you had to bring in math.....lol

@@seymourwrasse3321 math is OK, as long as its numbers, but the guy has to bring in the letters. Damn nerds and their letters.

You can make a miter box faster than this method, and use a hacksaw

Pipes that are so big that won't fit in a miter box usually use a mechanical joint

Not necessarily mechanical joints for larger pipes if that was the case we wouldn’t need pipe welders

@@jeremiahmccutcheon3234 you're bigger pipes are usually cast iron and concrete line for water can't be welding when you got concrete and just destroys the concrete then you get rust you have to use a mechanical joint even if it wasn't concrete line can weld cast iron but it would destroy if it was a concrete line which all water lines are

@@mikesmithey1892 actually I am speaking on industrial pipes like at any refinery ,pipeline, chemical facility. Most of those pipes are stainless , incomel monel. Exitic metals. Definitely not cast iron.

I was only six days late, should have read all the posts. I agree with ya tho !

That's the first thing I thought in the first few seconds of the clip. You would need a clamping jig that holds the two pipes perpendicular. That little red magnetic square won't do it because of two reasons: magnets don't hold as strongly as an actual clamp, and that square extends all the way to the end of the tubes, the clamping jig would have to grab the tubes a little further from the ends just in case the saw comes too close (gotta allow about 1/8 for the kerf). Still though... just get a bloody miter saw already.

@@paul_fredrick, yer a geometrician!

My old school buddy taught me your technique

We have a winner!!!!

Sure, if you 100% of the time have access to a mitre saw. The fishing boats I used to work on had minimal tools, never a mitre saw. I like to learn new ways of doing things I already know how to do. You never know when it might come in handy.

@Brandon Rivera i wouldnt even do that, id just use the piece to place the mark. no fucking around measuring or little bit of paper

@@vandalsgarage it's called a fucking speed square. If you don't own any tools how are you going to weld anything without a fucking welder? Just fold a piece of paper diagonally and you have a more accurate square than 99% of the Chinese junk they sell at Homeboy Depot.

I'm pretty sure the end result is off a miter/chop saw. Stupid interwebs making up some bullshit content to get us to watch commercials. Cool.

This video was showing you how to use a single square of paper to lay out a 45 degree mitre cut. Obviously a mitre saw cuts mitres.

@@Turin-Fett Exactly. And sometimes you need a layout before you cut.

@@markharmon4963 all the time. I am a fitter/fabricator and 99% of the time I’m in the field working on a job, I have no access to a chop saw or mitre band saw, so everything is done with a grinder. Maybe Alan has never done field work before, so he assumes it’s just as easy as setting up a saw to cut whatever angle he wants. Knowing how to lay out cuts on the material is a very valuable skill.

Wouldn’t a combination square do the same thing? It’s what I always used to make 45 degree cuts.

Way Faster!!!

Mitter circular saws work only close to half the diameter of the circular saw but if the width of the object material is bigger than the diameter of the circular saw then it doesn't cur all the way through but this is perfection of another way of cutting a 90 on any pipe size, that is if the craftswo/man has the right saw and or other tools if not.

Well for those that don’t have one yet this is a good alternative lol

A square...

This method is way more affordable. Next time the chop saw goes out and only a few cuts to go, now you have an affordable way to finish the job.

Coward.

Flap disc off camera probably

At your service sir 😊😄👍

So, if one needs to join pipes of diameter smaller than 10" and one doesn't have 'specialised tools' readily available, you recommend "don't even try"?!

@@trueaussie9230 one Aussie to another That's what he is saying!!!

@@trueaussie9230 A chop saw that cuts 45d is not a specialty tool 😂

@@Joe_Brown99 Regardless of cost, is a 'chop saw' not designed for the specific and sole purpose of cutting at precise angles?! Can a 'chop saw' be used to lop the top off a 30ft tree?! Is a 'chop saw' not considerably more 'specialised' than what was used in the video - to successfully achieve the same result that a 'chop saw' would produce?! I'm at a loss to understand why soooooo many people -predominantly Yanks - have got their frilly pink knickers in a twist over my use of the word 'specialised'. Maybe you all need to consult a dictionary before going off on a peurile rant. (For your assistance - 'specialised tool', a tool designed and developed to perform one particular task.) Regardless of what tool would perform any task faster than 'basic' (I hope that word doesn't trigger more aggression) tools and regardless of how one describes that tool, if it's not available to you at the time and location you would like to have it, are you just going to sit on your arse and cry?! This video demonstrates a simple, very basic, procedure to resolve a, very simple, problem using VERY basic tools. So, as we say in Aus, pull up your pants and give your mouth a go - ie stop talking out of your arse. Over and out.

Great👍

Your welcome sir 😄

how do you hold them while cutting?

@@Sunrayman123 they have these cool new things called clamps.

@@davedammitt7691 😅

@Roger Paul, astute, and the voice of experience. I just wrote something similar. The key to your method is shown in the first scene; the mag square. One chop across both ends at the same time will give a perfect 90, self correcting for small errors in eyeballing the cut at 45 degrees

You have to earn skills.

Thank you my friend 😊

😂

No shit. Way too much work for a 45 degree cut. Work smarter, not harder.

Your a cheapskate! If you had a chop saw they wouldn’t have to do it this way!

do you have employees ?

The subject of this video is not complex or hidden. It addresses how to DESCRIBE a 45 degree angle on pipe / tubing without using 'specialised' / 'conventional' tools. The process / method works regardless of the material from which said pipe / tubing is manufactured and / or the diameter of said pipe / tubing. For whatever reason, the piping / tubing might not actually be cut. A 'cold saw' is designed and intended for cutting METALS - including in pipe / tube form. If the pipe / tubing one intends to cut is made from flexible plastic or rigid PVC, how doe a 'cold saw' help me to DESCRIBE the angle to be cut?! Do you recommend using a 'cold saw' for actually CUTTING flexible plastic and / or rigid PVC pipe / tubing?! Do you know some alternative process / method for DESCRIBING a 45 degree angle on pipe / tubing - without resorting to using 'specialised' / 'connventional' tools? If so, please post a video so that we may ALL be educated.

The rage was one of the best investments I made. Loud, but quick and efficient.

@@trueaussie9230 what are you talking about? This video is obviously about cutting metal. And yes a mitre saw would make it easier and much much quicker.

@@yallawallahalla Whatever you say, boss. 😉😆

it's also possible that guy only had a small piece of paper and an old grinding machine😂

I mean, I'd just pick my folding rule up and measure it out..

I enjoy it when my catamaran is skimming over the water.

Skim a cat? Does it have a layer of pool sludge on it?

At your service sir 😊😄👍

Yeah. It's easier just to pay someone else to do it - especially if you're stuck in a remote location and your life depends on it. 🤣🤣🤣

Yep , I'd say just get a chop saw if you're going to make a bunch of angle cuts , cutting out a bunch of circles trace them onto the pipe and cut just seems a little too ocd for me . Really I can use a speed square and eyeball angles within reason and make up any imperfections with a mig . And if I needed the perfect cuts , like for no filler rod if I learned TIG (I want to soon) , I'd just go the extra mile and buy a chop saw if I didn't have one .

@@johnjay5143 And when the nearest 'chop saw' is 500km away?! You don't get out much, do you?!

@@trueaussie9230 I don't mean to dismiss your problem , but if you have a welder and other fab tools , then you should invest in a cheep chop saw . Even a hack saw can make 45's . The main thing is having a decent jig design . And if you are MIG welding or stick you can repair any imperfections from the cut . But if you have a clean place in your fab area to play around with paper and cut outs ? Knock yourself out . I don't know your situation , but when you are a long way from a town you need to work on increasing your tools , unless you're just hobbying , then I guess the circle is a good thing .

@@trueaussie9230 Alright , I doubt your life will ever depend on an angle cut in ANY material . Geez , let's drop the drama . Lol

Thanks for the opinion 👍

A pen-mark helps you design and measure before you are ready to cut.

0p

I've done the same with the torch. Your torch skills are probably better than mine so I migrated to a grinder and free-handed it.

At your service sir 😊😄👍

So, you're dependant on having every ''specialised tool' readily available at all times. Good luck to you.

@@trueaussie9230 a chop saw is cheap and very basic. Anyone that does any type of metal work at all, especially someone that is cutting and welding tube will have one.

Unless you bought it at Harbor Freight.. yeah, you can guess how I know.

@@JohnDoe-ud2cc So, are you saying when someone finds, for the first time in their life, they need to cut metal pipe / tubing a 'chop saw' will just magically appear - regardless of where they're located at the time?! Are you saying that, simply by OWNING a 'chop saw' it will always make itself readily available to you wherever you're located at the time of needing it?! Damn. That's some seriously MAGIC tool. (Have you NEVER found yourself in a situation where a tool that you OWN and need for the situation you unexpectedly find yourself in, is not readily available to you - perhaps because it's in your toolshed and you are 50 miles away from it?!) The technique demonstrated - ie for DESCRIBING a 45 degree angle on pipe / tubing - is applicable regardless of the material from which the pipe / tubing is made. So, for someone who works with PVC pipe / tubing and NEVER works with metal at all, how does that magic 'chop saw' help them?! Will it still magically appear to assist with DESCRIBING the 45 degree angle. (I don't know about you, but I wouldn't recommend CUTTING PVC with a 'chop saw'.)

@@trueaussie9230 man did I touch a nerve, a bit sensitive are we. I can come back and use your same argument back on you. What if a person doesn’t have a cut off wheel or grinder, a welders 90 magnet, a welder, paper, a sharpie, or even electricity for that matter.

Sometimes the pipes cannot be moved. And sometimes you need to mark and measure before you cut.

Thank you my friend 😊👍 this is the best of all the comments i got...❤️

@@bkscreative Any time. I love watching these kinds of how to videos. There are a lot of great ideas that can be used. Keep up the good work.

Use chop saw with metal disc

I've got some 6 inch stainless pipe that needs cutting at a 45. Thanks heaps. And nevermind the haters that can't understand that learning different ways to do things has immense value!

That was I mean, this trick actually work better on a big size pipe😊😄👍

Why? Just cut a 45deg angle. Boom done. This is the same thing with extra steps.

So true Dan

Yes. I'm not seeing any advantage to all that trouble?

But what about the people that don’t have a chop saw yet lol

@@Exotiq. there is plastic guide 45 degree angle for that

@@ZuNunchaku oh ok cool well I guess if you have a 45 degree plastic angle guide then cool, but if you don’t have one then this is is useful too

@@Exotiq. what about if you dont have pencil or pen? Or you dont have paper? Oh wait, what about if you dont have saw 😂 That plastic box is cheaper than your saw, so what an excuse? You have welder there to weld 45 degree iron, bur you dont have mitter saw? At least you have 45 degree guide. This video is nonsense and you defending the nonsenesnes. Welcome to the world 🤣

lol u got no appreciation u got a weak brain

Should only take about half the time! 😂

@@c.w.bookout7506 imagine having to do more than one.

Thank you my friend❤️❤️❤️

Thank you my friend ❤️

Can you be certain your mitre saw will be available to you at all times? If not, be grateful you now know how to survive without it.

@@trueaussie9230 oh shut up. can you be certain you'll have paper available??? or a marker??? see how that works? O.o

If you know of a better solution - without resorting to 'specialised tools' - please post a video and educate us.

@@trueaussie9230 you really are a turd. how about the rest of the specialized tools? other than yourself. O.o

I think so...😂

I was thinking the same

And how do you propose cutting a precise 45 degree angle, without 'specialised tools'?! Please, post a video to educate us.

@@trueaussie9230 You could literally accomplish this with a mitre gauge and a hand saw, both of which are not specialized. You can make a mitre gauge in half the time it takes to use this method to mark the pipe. This is overly complex for no reason other than getting views on KZfaq. Probably one of the dumbest methods I’ve ever seen to accomplish a 45 degree cut.

Yes😄

'CUTTING CORNERS'... ... GET IT??

Unless you have the proper tools and are only cutting two. This is quite useful and faster if you're cutting plenty of pipes at right angle, since you have a template already. You dont even need the magnet.

At your service sir 😄👍

Buy a chop saw and set angle to 42° and youre good to go. Or, do this method and start with 45° and grind your way down to 42° using an angle finder to check where you're at

Same as above, whenever cutting two pieces and trying to get them to a specific angle, cut both at half the angle. So for 84° cut both at 42°.

Chop saws move and any protracter gives you any angle you want. Easy

yes i know but i dont have it😅

Do you understand the purpose of the video?! FYI - to demonstrate how one can survive without 'specialised tools'.

@@trueaussie9230 you and your stupid ass "specialized tools" rant. you are an idiot.

@@trueaussie9230 bro you’ve commented to every person that mention any type of tool other than a pencil. Just let it go, let them miss the interpretation.
