    Thanks for the idea. I used this to make my own jig but instead of pipe holding the flat 45s I used a piece of square tubing running perpendicular. That way all you have to do is pull the tubing from the jig flush with the piece you are cutting and the guides run perfect 45s on either side without having to use a square. If I want a different angle I can always mark the angle by hand and use the parallel pieces without pulling it flush. Hopefully that description makes sense.

      I think I follow and that's super smart! A huge percentage of my cuts are 45% and that would eliminate the use of a square for most things. Thank you for the share!

    I did notice when you were cutting with the grinder. You actually put the grinder on an angle as well and my dumb a** wouldn't have thought of doing that. Thanks.

      It’s just a habit from cutting thicker wall material. It doesn’t matter as much with thin metal. However! I would recommend when cutting, Start with the angled lines, and with the grinder vertical, continue cutting passed the edges a little. That’ll put a short cut at the corners that will indicate where the 90 degrees cuts will be. Because sometimes they aren’t where you drew the lines. 😬 Hope that makes sense.

    I can't thank you enough for this idea. The first one I made, I had the tubing just a bit too long so that end didn't fit tightly enough. The second one has worked like a charm. I've been trying to make good 45 degree cuts on tubing for almost a year. I had just about given up. I bought an abrasive chop saw and it couldn't cut properly at all. With your method I have easily cut two corners of 1 and 1/2 inch by three inches tubing with no problems. Welding was easy and they came out nice and square. You are a life saver.

And then cut once.

      Thank you Jonathan! You are greatly appreciated.
      I really like the idea of the laser cut tools. I think that would take them from slapped-together to really professional looking.
      Keep in mind though that the width plays a large part in ensuring the the edges on both sides are in the same position. The thinner the tool is, the more it can rock and therefore give you inaccurate markings.
      The wider the better! That said, consider keeping the laser cut U idea but make it a quarter inch wider than the material so you can slide in some 1”-1.5” flat stock and tack weld them.
      Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

    Cool videos. Looking for recommendations for home 110-120volt plazma cutter and 110 compressor. Cutting Nothing over 1/4 inch

    • @GarageFab

      Thank you, Tim! I’ve only had experience with two plasma cutters. Mine, Hypertherm xp45. It’s amazing.
      I also used an old timey Esab. I’m not sure of the model. And I’ve also got no recommendations for air compressors. I went straight for 220v. Most 110v compressors are super loud and they don’t produce enough air for constant plasma cutter use.

    Your scribing jig is a nice idea. If you added a little rubber band at the end of the legs to pull them gently towards your material, it might be more forgiving towards a little rougher handling when you need to turn things over. On the other hand, it doesn't need to withstand any more forces than a sharpie's point, so whatever 😀

    • @GarageFab
      @GarageFab  2 роки тому

      Something to keep it in place would be brilliant! I occasionally clamp it to the work piece but that’s somewhat cumbersome.

    @bigoz1734 3 роки тому +1

    How do you make it with a 45 degree bend instead of a 90 degree bend. Would you only cut 45 out of one piece and leave the other a flat surface. Or cut 22.5 out of each and join?

    • @GarageFab
      @GarageFab  3 роки тому

      You’re correct with the 22.5° You will get a 45° bend either way you do it but if you only cut one piece the ends won’t match up properly leaving a small section of open tubing. Two tubes cut at 22.5° (or 67.5° depending on what side you’re using to find your angle) will mate up nicely.

      By cutting table are you referring to the folding plasma table?

    Am i clumsy for failing this 90 degree angle very first time i tried it on my own(left and right side cut properly just the upper side was a bit further cut)? I just started working and using a grinder,it was my first time(also didnt have the steel tool he had).

    • @GarageFab
      @GarageFab  3 роки тому

      I wouldn't call it a failure especially in a first attempt. It takes practice and patience and I'm not sure it ever gets easy. It'll be difficult to explain in writing but it sounds like the issue is simply marking the 90 degree cut line inaccurately. It's challenging to determine where the cut should be across the top of the workpiece after marking the 45 degree sides. I think the rounded corners of the tubing causes this challenge. Next time you mark your 45 degree cut lines, draw where you think the 90 degree cut should be but don't cut right on the line. Instead cut just to the furthest edges of the line. In other words after the cut you'll still see the marker.
      In short it'll just take a few cuts to realize what little adjustments need to be made to perfect it.

    At 2:15 into this video, you show a horizontal bag setup on a frame. What is that about ? Let's see the rest of what the bags do please ?

    • @GarageFab
      @GarageFab  2 роки тому +1

      Ah! That was one of my favorite builds to date. Those were remotely mounted bags for the front suspension of Chevy Luv pickup that was getting a V8 engine. The front control arms were so small that an air spring large enough to lift the motor wouldn’t fit.
      When the bag inflates, it pushes a hydraulic cylinder mounted to the frame, the fluid from that cylinder is forced into a second cylinder that’s mounted to the front suspension which provides lift.
      If that didn’t make sense, scroll down my Instagram (@GarageFab) a LONG way and you’ll see a lot more photos of the project as well as some videos of it working and a video of me jumping up and down on it. Scroll till you get to March 2019.
      I won’t be doing any videos on it unfortunately because that truck is in Arizona now, but I might try and use the ideas in future builds. 🤷‍♂️
