I can't find anyone in Calgary to do two 45 degree cuts on a 5 inch exhaust pipe...I tried my chop saw,but the pipe starts to turn..even clamped down.Where can I get this done???

 

Need a bandsaw.

Find a mom and pop type machine shop.

 

Zip disc and a cut line.

 

Agreed. I cut all the pipes in my twins by hand, as well as Kev's 5" down pipe. Just need to mark it out well and stay on the line.

 

Yes, Tate is amazing at cutting straight. It really is a case of patience

 

Looking into building a 6 inch, 45 degree mitre box...I have to get this cut straight the first time.

 

you will be fine. Use a poster board to mark your lines, then use your grinder, just take your time

 

If you draw it out first you can easy be within a 1/16th with a zip disc. Like Kevin said just takes some patience.

 

It fun trimming the tubes to match up. You should try a roll cage or exhaust system. A band saw is best way. Zip disk work good as well.

What you building buddy?

 

Testing how long two component paint will last on properly prepped exhaust systems..Also looking into the new component type high temp paint.

 

Is this so that you can paint me a black stack dave? lol. Hopefully it works out good for ya.

 

here's a cool way to get a pattern if the mitre box doesn't pan out Dave.
This looks to be 22.5* but the process will work for 45*, just different numbers.
Can a way be figured out to strap it on tight to the chop saw so it doesn't move?

 

Wracket straps should work to hold it down...
