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.
@@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.
Nice way to approximate the layout. ALTERNATIVE With those two tubes held in the magnetic square, one straight cut across both ends simultaneously, by disk grinder or portable band saw, will yield a joint mitered to give a perfect 90 degrees. Even if your chop is not at a perfect 45, the error will cancel out on assembly, giving a perfect right angle. No layout, one cut, done.
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.
You can also measure down from your cutting edge the diameter of the pipe. A 45° cut will always be the diameter of the pipe. 2" pipe; measure down 2" on both pipes. 4" pipe same thing.
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.
A lot of people say to use a chop saw, ok that may work until you are working on and modifying existing pipe work with little room to move And every cut is by hand, this is as good a way as any, thanks for posting..
That is a very cool method, altho very complicated, i like to just stack the pipes on top of each other at 90 degrees and cut thru both at the same time
@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
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.
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"?!

I only scrolled down a couple of comments but, the simplest solution is to get a copy of the Pipefitters handbook and wrap a piece of material around the pipe, cut the material that is now the circumference of said pipe. Fold it and unfold it then use the measurements on it, connect the lines, cut it out, and you've got a template for later use.
I cut 35 pieces of 3" pipe at 45-degree angles and saw this was still life hacking a "never told before trick". There is a reason why it was never told....

You could save yourself the work of making the cutout and just use the end of one pipe to mark the other and vice versa. You could also take a hole saw or something of similar radius to roll it around the curvature and mark the cut better. Either way, this method is just an approximation, so it doesn't matter much.
I’ve made that cut freehand with a torch thousands of times. Mostly 2 3/8” drill stem. Many miles of pipe fence on my ranch. BUT, your method is an excellent idea for the beginner!! TEXAS!
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.
@@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.
Am I missing something here? If you make a 45 degree cut in a round pipe, and rotate 1 side through 180 degrees bringing the 2 cut edges together you form a 90 degree angle just like this. Exactly like this. No template. No marking out. If you want a 60 degree corner you make a 30 degree cut and so on. Just saying.
@@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.
Honestly I've cut my share of pipe in the past but I'd never thought to do it like this! That was sooo cool!!!! I'm going to have to remember this little trick the next time I need to do some pipe cutting. Thank you for a very informative video Budak. You now have a new subscriber and I hope to see more of your amazing videos.
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!
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.
@@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.
Thanks, neat trick will have to put it into my notes. I had made a fixture for different angles, but this would be easier and faster to set up for a cut now and then!
45° is a special angle. Always equal rise equal run. Measure down whatever the width of the material is and go straight across for a 45. However, using the welding magnet is a nice little trick that I need to start using, thanks for that!
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 .
@@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 .
Another good method to have if you don’t have anything else to use you can use a big leaf in place for this. The point he is making here this is a method to get professional joints. No excuse for shit work. Thanks for posting!!!!!
Used for big pipe, never seen it done on anything less than 100mm. Even then the cardboard template isn't used. Just mark down to the same measurement as the diameter.
Find the middle of the magnet and draw a line then push the pipe until the line matches with the outer side of the pipe, the one that isn't on magnet much easier this way in case you don't carry saw miter in the field or having one in your shop.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
Nice work, but no need for paper, and all this time, just calculate the width of the pipe and start cutting the pipe to the other edge at angle 45, you'll get the same result.
@@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 UA-cam. Probably one of the dumbest methods I’ve ever seen to accomplish a 45 degree cut.
Excellent. Could have done it with a chop saw but I don't have one. my garage is full of stuff anyway and who want's more stuff?. Could have eye balled it but that would not be so nice and tight as this method. Nice vid , well done, thumbs up.
@@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 🤣
I understand not everyone has access to a band saw but if you’re going to be fabricating metal you really should have a chop saw at the bare minimum which would completely eliminate the need for all of this
Absolutely brilliant and simple solution. Unfortunately we don't always have readily available a workshop equipped with all of the latest technology. Thank you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
In all of your many comments bitching about not having electricity or seemingly your favorite term "specialized" tools, you must have missed the parts in the video where the guy is using a grinder. So he obviously has electricity....... But for your sake I will assume that you don't have electricity or a grinder. If that's the case, why would you be working with pipe? And if working with pipe, how do you plan to connect the pieces of the angle if you don't have a welder? Instead of badmouthing the rest of us, because you (incorrectly) assume we all have fancy, tool laden workshops, how about you instruct us morons as to your methods of cutting & connecting these angled pieces of pipe. Especially since you seem so concerned about the structural integrity of the pieces "saving your life" out there 500km away from civilization. Oh, and if you have no electricity then how are you able to get online to make your complaining comments? AND, if in 2022, you seriously think that a grinder, chop saw, or a basic arc welder are high technology, then you have been spending the past 75 years living under that rock that has your phone, tablet or computer sitting on it. Or perhaps, unlike some of us who are old, retired and have actually been around awhile, perhaps you are simply a misguided twenty-something who is still living in your parent's house, and thinks that unless a person is living in the USA then they obviously must still be living in the middle of nowhere, and live their lives as if it's still 1822 instead of 2022.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There's a big wide world out beyond the comfort of your suburban backyard. One that you clearly cannot comprehend. FYI - as I've only been on this planet for 70 years, I couldn't have been 'living under a rock for 75 years'. The approach to cutting 45 degree angles in pipe / tubing, as demonstrated in the video, can be turned to pipe / tubing made from materials other than steel, and therefore don't need 'MIG welding' 🤪🤪. (with your wealth of experience, of course you knew that 🤪) I'm surprised that, with your wealth of experience, you don't know that an oxy-accetelene torch can be, and often is, used for welding steel - AND it doesn't need electricity. With your wealth of experience I'm surprised you don't know how to make a 24 volt powered arc welder. As you might be able to guess from my YT Id, I live in Australia. (Have you heard of it. Have you ANY concept of how remote some places here are?! Have you ANY concept of how easy it is for unexpected incidents to place you in a life-or-death situation?! Have you ANY concept of how impractical it is, when travelling from one's home - where one has electricity and MANY tools 🤪😊 - to those remote locations, to drag with one ALL the tools that one could possibly need in any and all UNEXPECTED situations?!)

So, off to bed now. Over and out. (That's your cue to act like a true 'baby troll' and leave yet another aggressively abusive and peurile comment, to ensure you have the 'last word'.)
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.
All these channels that produce videos strictly for views. Always doing overly complicated operations for results that can be achieved with cheap easily obtainable tools. Always a guy with angle grinder and titles like “impossible joint!” Or “the secret pros don’t want you to know!” Yawn
So, you're dependant on having every ''specialised tool' readily available at all times. It never hurts to know how to survive without 'modern technology'. Good luck to you.
@@trueaussie9230 a miter box isn’t “every specialized tool”. It’s very cheap and very common particularly if you make cuts of wood or metal even sporadically.

Recently I had to make such cuts but miter saw broke. I marked similarly, the marking was good but the problem was that I couldnt cut so straight with handheld grinder. Even best marking template wont help you when your hand is not trammed perfectly...
Your magnet already has the necessary 45ﾟ angle obviously.. If you attach your tube and let it overhang overhang the edge of the table you can simply use the table edge to scribe your line without having to do any of the paper and marking Tricks
It never ceases to amaze me how many people do not understand simple 45° angles.

Am I missing something here? If you make a 45 degree cut in a round pipe, and rotate 1 side through 180 degrees bringing the 2 cut edges together you form a 90 degree angle just like this. Exactly like this. No template. No marking out.
If you want a 60 degree corner you make a 30 degree cut and so on.
Just saying.
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.
Honestly I've cut my share of pipe in the past but I'd never thought to do it like this! That was sooo cool!!!! I'm going to have to remember this little trick the next time I need to do some pipe cutting. Thank you for a very informative video Budak. You now have a new subscriber and I hope to see more of your amazing videos.
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😊😄👍
Oh yea, works great every time!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Get yourself a cold saw with adjustable angle. Everything will be easier. Great method and cut though 🤘
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. 😉😆
Very nice technique...I like the you did it...perfect tricks...
Thank you my friend ❤️
Thanks, neat trick will have to put it into my notes. I had made a fixture for different angles, but this would be easier and faster to set up for a cut now and then!
Your welcome sir 😄
wihh ga nyangka budak tambuk bikin video gini wkwk, mantap omm, lanjutkan 👍
Terima kasih lur 😄
Impressive !! I have made thousands of cuts for pipe rail
And never thought of the paper template !!
Why? Just cut a 45deg angle. Boom done. This is the same thing with extra steps.
Thanks Brither.. This video is helper for me...
This was cool. ( cooooool ) Great fun watching. I suppose you can do something similar to notch the tube. tHanks for the video
Good job very nice because of your vlog tutorial I got some knowledge from you
45° is a special angle. Always equal rise equal run. Measure down whatever the width of the material is and go straight across for a 45. However, using the welding magnet is a nice little trick that I need to start using, thanks for that!
Danke, wirklich gut gelöst!
Looks like a lot of work.
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
Sir your video super 💐 brilliant easy trick sir 👌👌👌💐
At your service sir 😊😄👍
It's a good idea, not only this method is useful for round pipes, similar concept would work on any other shapes. Thank you.
So true Dan
Nice job, thanks for the demonstration.
Another good method to have if you don’t have anything else to use you can use a big leaf in place for this. The point he is making here this is a method to get professional joints. No excuse for shit work. Thanks for posting!!!!!

lol u got no appreciation u got a weak brain
That’s the most painful way ever. 🧐
People have been ‘eyeing’ stuff and getting it real close to right for thousands of years.
Put the tubes into the 90 degree thing, cut across them flat, straight across then roll the tubes over 180.
I am so happy I took the time to watch this.
i want my time back
@@tomstiel7576 I was being sarcastic. That 'trick' is about as old as welding.
Great tip thank you!
Thank you my friend 😊
Dude! I smashed that like button. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you my friend 😊😄👍
Nossa muito perfeito parabéns e obrigado por ensinar
Rápido e prático parabéns valeu 👍
Used for big pipe, never seen it done on anything less than 100mm. Even then the cardboard template isn't used. Just mark down to the same measurement as the diameter.
Cara yang sarat manfaat. Trims atas ilmunya 👍👍
If I saw a employee laying out a simple 45⁰ cut like that, I would fire them on the spot.
😂
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 ?
Gostei muito do seu vídeo parabéns pelo seu trabalho em divulgar o seu conhecimento
Why not cut the pipes at 45 degrees, then weld?
Sometimes the pipes cannot be moved. And sometimes you need to mark and measure before you cut.
Чувак, всё это нарисовал, о потом на торцовке? Молодца! 😉😂😂😂
Find the middle of the magnet and draw a line then push the pipe until the line matches with the outer side of the pipe, the one that isn't on magnet much easier this way in case you don't carry saw miter in the field or having one in your shop.

I like it, good method it u was in a tight spot
A chop saw at a 45 degree would do the same thing in about a minute
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.
Excelente gracias por compartir
Saludos
So thankful for my cheap miter saw and the 10 different ways I could think to do this much easier and faster
Looks like a good way to mark rocket fin locations!
Wow I need to get rid of my miter saw and start doing this instead 🙃
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
this was badass, good job
Do you know how to use a speed square?
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.
@@Inpaintballwetrust
Whatever you say, boss.
Nice work, but no need for paper, and all this time, just calculate the width of the pipe and start cutting the pipe to the other edge at angle 45, you'll get the same result.
Or you could just cut the pipes at a 45 degree angle and save the paper scissors and marker for your kids art project
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 UA-cam. Probably one of the dumbest methods I’ve ever seen to accomplish a 45 degree cut.
Excellent work!
Dica maravilha
Excellent. Could have done it with a chop saw but I don't have one. my garage is full of stuff anyway and who want's more stuff?. Could have eye balled it but that would not be so nice and tight as this method. Nice vid , well done, thumbs up.
You made that way more complicated than it had to be… just set your drop saw at a 45• miter and send it
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 🤣
I understand not everyone has access to a band saw but if you’re going to be fabricating metal you really should have a chop saw at the bare minimum which would completely eliminate the need for all of this
Wouldn’t it just be easier to cut them on a 45?
very good tecnik greetings from Indonesia
Thank you sir 😊
I'm Indonesian too😄
I guess you didn't have a 45° miter cutter.
Yes😄
Absolutely brilliant and simple solution.
Unfortunately we don't always have readily available a workshop equipped with all of the latest technology.
Thank you.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
In all of your many comments bitching about not having electricity or seemingly your favorite term "specialized" tools, you must have missed the parts in the video where the guy is using a grinder. So he obviously has electricity....... But for your sake I will assume that you don't have electricity or a grinder. If that's the case, why would you be working with pipe? And if working with pipe, how do you plan to connect the pieces of the angle if you don't have a welder? Instead of badmouthing the rest of us, because you (incorrectly) assume we all have fancy, tool laden workshops, how about you instruct us morons as to your methods of cutting & connecting these angled pieces of pipe. Especially since you seem so concerned about the structural integrity of the pieces "saving your life" out there 500km away from civilization. Oh, and if you have no electricity then how are you able to get online to make your complaining comments? AND, if in 2022, you seriously think that a grinder, chop saw, or a basic arc welder are high technology, then you have been spending the past 75 years living under that rock that has your phone, tablet or computer sitting on it. Or perhaps, unlike some of us who are old, retired and have actually been around awhile, perhaps you are simply a misguided twenty-something who is still living in your parent's house, and thinks that unless a person is living in the USA then they obviously must still be living in the middle of nowhere, and live their lives as if it's still 1822 instead of 2022.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

G'day kiddielink.
I've already answered your peurile assumptions and accusations, in another 'stream' where you 'stalked' me.
You really need to get out more.
Expand your horizons.
There's a big wide world out beyond the comfort of your suburban backyard.
One that you clearly cannot comprehend.
FYI - as I've only been on this planet for 70 years, I couldn't have been 'living under a rock for 75 years'.
The approach to cutting 45 degree angles in pipe / tubing, as demonstrated in the video, can be turned to pipe / tubing made from materials other than steel, and therefore don't need 'MIG welding' 🤪🤪. (with your wealth of experience, of course you knew that 🤪)
I'm surprised that, with your wealth of experience, you don't know that an oxy-accetelene torch can be, and often is, used for welding steel - AND it doesn't need electricity.
With your wealth of experience I'm surprised you don't know how to make a 24 volt powered arc welder.
As you might be able to guess from my YT Id, I live in Australia. (Have you heard of it. Have you ANY concept of how remote some places here are?! Have you ANY concept of how easy it is for unexpected incidents to place you in a life-or-death situation?! Have you ANY concept of how impractical it is, when travelling from one's home - where one has electricity and MANY tools 🤪😊 - to those remote locations, to drag with one ALL the tools that one could possibly need in any and all UNEXPECTED situations?!)
Personally, I have the greatest sympathy for ANYONE who lives in the self-proclaimed 'great' USA.
You're a very entertaining little kiddielink, but I think 'yer mammy's' calling you.
So, off to bed now.
Over and out.
(That's your cue to act like a true 'baby troll' and leave yet another aggressively abusive and peurile comment, to ensure you have the 'last word'.)
Now do a 22 1/2°.
Should only take about half the time! 😂
@@c.w.bookout7506 imagine having to do more than one.
Great idea, they say there is over a 101 ways to get the job done as long as it gets the correct end result !
There is a short and this is a loooong method. 45deg so basic cutting either in carpentry or metalcrafts.
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
it's good tutorial especially if you only have a hacksaw... actually it's good enough guide how to do it.
That seems way harder than just cutting a 45° angle in it and rotating it around 🤣🤣🤣
Will this work for cutting a 180° angle??
LOL
You aren't really cutting any corners doing it that way. Might even take a little longer.
'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.
i remember seeing a saw with a revolving vice -fix the tube, swivel the vice 45deg and cut both tubes, then weld
45 degree/ 45 degree makes 90 degree. This technique was overkill
Super cool...I just use a pipe saddle templates, and steel chop saw.
All these channels that produce videos strictly for views. Always doing overly complicated operations for results that can be achieved with cheap easily obtainable tools. Always a guy with angle grinder and titles like “impossible joint!” Or “the secret pros don’t want you to know!” Yawn
I agree, Because it is one of the strategies to attract the audience😂
So, you're dependant on having every ''specialised tool' readily available at all times.
It never hurts to know how to survive without 'modern technology'.
Good luck to you.
@@trueaussie9230 a miter box isn’t “every specialized tool”. It’s very cheap and very common particularly if you make cuts of wood or metal even sporadically. If that is too specialized or doesn’t apply to every situation than you could argue having an electric angle grinder is too technologically advanced.
@@onefortheroad2291
Regardless of cost, I don't always carry a mitre box and / or an angle grinder.
Also, I'm not always in easy reach of such things.
Do you ever leave the 'safety' of suburbia?!
@@trueaussie9230 but you do always carry a hacksaw? And you do find yourself out in the wilderness in a life and death situation that requires you to make 45 degree cuts in round tube? Your argument is silly and you just respond to every single comment on this video that’s even remotely critical of the video.
Recently I had to make such cuts but miter saw broke. I marked similarly, the marking was good but the problem was that I couldnt cut so straight with handheld grinder. Even best marking template wont help you when your hand is not trammed perfectly...
Your magnet already has the necessary 45ﾟ angle obviously.. If you attach your tube and let it overhang overhang the edge of the table you can simply use the table edge to scribe your line without having to do any of the paper and marking Tricks
I had not seen "the plan" from old welder pipe fitter books implemented in over 25 years. The circle is a slightly new twist.
