How to Notch Steel tube with angle grinder
Many Thanks to John Warren for explaining this method. Top man.
Procedure……..
* At a 90° square saw position, the tube is positioned 12mm past the blade.
* 1st 32° cut
* Then flip the tube 180°
* 2nd 32° cut
Tip - A back stop on the tube set at 12mm past the blade ensures correct alignment of the 1st and 2 nd 32° cuts once rotated.

I use 33 degrees if the pipe OD's are the same. 2-7/8 saddle onto 2-3/8 use 45 degrees. 2-3/8 saddle onto 2-7/8 use 20 degrees. These are common sizes of oil field tubing.

I have been messing about for hours today using a "wrap around". Hole saws have never been kind to me so seeing this video both helps me and annoys me. WHY DIDNT I KNOW THIS SOONER?! I can only thank you for sharing this! Are there ant tips and tricks for notching tube other then 90 degrees? I.e for a staircase?! Thank you!

Is 12mm the size of the gap when you butt the pipes together before you notch them?Where do you get the 32 degree angles from or is that the number that works well for all size pipe?

@TheMetalFabGuy 2 жыл бұрын

12mm is the position of the tube past the blade at 90° Before you cut the 32° mitred cuts. 32° works for all.

I tried this today on 42mm diameter tube. It looked great. I then tried the same with 115mm diameter tube and it didn't work out. Is there a formula to work off as the tube gets bigger

Roughly 1/3 the diameter of pipe is how far to cut

Measure 12mm from the blade when it set at 90°. Clamp it in the vice Then change your angle

Been doing this for years on my evolution saw. Good trick is to use a 123 block on the 2nd cut to make sure it is square to the first cut.

@moparnut6933 10 ай бұрын

@sputnik9708 I got it to work, I set my saw to 32° like he said and the cut was wrong, I figured out that he meant 58°. A square cut on a saw is 90° not 0°. I set a stop for repeatability and got the job done.
