guntoteninfadel Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Wow, I have one, oh I dont know 1/100 of that size to cut copper pipe with lol. I am trying the table saw thing next week. The jig sounds promising, something to do with all the conveyor rollers I have
oldguy Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 nice tool,I set my table saw on 1/2" blade height lay a piece in a jig(a 90 degree "V" to set in, rotate the tube. I do the same thing also. Wise to use a very fine tooth blade for a smother cut.
guntoteninfadel Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 OG, I got the things cut! Ended up cutting it with a skill saw (fine tooth blade of course) then putting it on my ball mill and drawing a line while it was spinning. I got the 4's and 6's working great with test plugs but the test plugs for 8's are EXPENSIVE and the 12's wont work. Looks like its going to be flat pvc or something. Thanks for the help!
NightHawkInLight Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I've wanted one of these for PVC ever since I first used a copper cutter. I bet it works wonders when you need a perfectly straight edge. I'll be keeping my eyes out for one.

derick21 Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I've wanted to have that tool too. With that, I'll stop persevering in using hacksaw with the PVC pipes. Where can I purchase one at a good and affordable price?_____________________________________________plumbing
