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.

Thanks for your comments 👍

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!

THANK YOU! I watched a whole lotta stuff...but this video takes the cake!

Thank you.

Been working on my pipe welding/ fit ups. This helps a ton for saddles. Thanks

I like it! Thanks👍👍

i was doing this 30 yrs ago except I i go 45 and chop 5 mm of the point. i just do it by eye these days if i dont have access to a coping machine, hole saw or iron worker notch attachment

Nice, that will help alot . Thanks for sharing .

32 degrees is the magic number? You’re not supposed to share top secret on YT.

Thats what a crab would say

Any tips for 45° joint?

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

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

I’ve got a belt grinder dedicated and setup to prepare 42 and 33 mm pipes to butt them together. That is such a time saver

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

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.

@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.
