Hey thanks so much for this video. Got a potential project involving 6-8" PVC coming up and this is perfect info. Would love a video showing how you would bevel a large diameter pipe without the expensive tools!
What would you recommend to cut old, very brittle cpvc pipe? I have a leak in the wall that I need to cut out and replace, but I’ve heard that if you put much pressure on old cpvc that it will splinter and crack. Thank you!
On a PVC central vac line I folded a piece of paper to make a straight line, then draw line with a Sharpie. Then a multi tool to follow the drawn line.
I just completed removing all of the cast iron sewer line from under my house. I replaced it all with ABS and the harbor freight miter box is the way to go for cutting pipe. For $9.99 you get the saw and miter box. It is small enough and light enough to use in a crawl space. I tried the clamp method but found that it took too long.
Easy way it to use a wide rubber band. Mark hot many inches from the end you need to cut in four places. Put the rubbed band around the pipe and pinch the extra so it’s tight, and move it to where your marks just show. Using a permanent marker mark all the way around the rubber band. Take the band off and make your cut.
The hose clamp method works EXCEPT you need to rotate the clamp at least once because the screw cage protrudes beyond the line of the clamp and will push your blade out of alignment. Also, for safety reasons it's better to be cutting with the pipe suspended over a bench or board and not your knee.
@3:20 “Place your thumb next to the blade before it speeds up” ??? Not sure this will work for many DYI folks. I did like the pipe clamp idea but not pacing your thumb or the blade idea
OMG the way you use power tools is so dangerous. It's a wonder you still have fingers and legs. And the way you disrespect your tools, throwing a drill down into dirt?
Not really sure how you guys cut your pipes in crawlspaces and attics that you can't even spin your body. Sawzall easiest tool to cut all sizes in worst conditions.
Great tips thanks for posting this.
EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. THANKS.
I am surprised that he still have all of his fingers working like that!
great video, the clamp method is really helpful, thanks mate
Fantastic video. This the best one on cutting pvc by far!
What blade do you use ?
Very helpful for me thank you! Since I don't do this for a living and just as a home owner, I'll probably just use the gear clamp method.
Very nice, you helped a bunch.
Dude, thank yo so much for this. ♥

Try keeping the hand with the recip saw stationary while rotating the pipe with your left hand .
Thanks for the tip.
Great skill and thanks for sharing

Use a hack saw
I work with MJ bands and cast all day everything, I don't know why I didn't think of this when marking the lines for my snap cutters lmao
Thanks for this. So helpful.
Awsome tip !!
Thanks, can't do this at 90 degrees yet, this may help
No, but you could use a 90 degree elbow joint.
thank for your advice well done..ex video friend

You need a video on how to apply a tourniquet & get to the ER fast after the saw slips and slices through your finger 🤕.
Awesome. ty boss man!
Do you bevel edges with a tool before inserting into joint or coupler ?
Always clean the joint of the rough edges or it can build up debris over time.
Deburring tool

thanks for making this
You are welcome.

Tip: mark BOTH sides of the measuring tape - you get 2 marks for the price of 1 measurement and double the guide value.
I LINE UP THE DICULAR WITH THE ABGULAR AND CONNECT LINE VERMICULAR...IT SAVES TONS OF TIMULAR
What saw are you using ?
Milwaukee M18 Fuel Sawzall
The hose clamp method works EXCEPT you need to rotate the clamp at least once because the screw cage protrudes beyond the line of the clamp and will push your blade out of alignment. Also, for safety reasons it's better to be cutting with the pipe suspended over a bench or board and not your knee.
what type of blade?
18TPI Metal Cutting Blade
Where we will get this cutting machine
machine name plz
That's fine, provided that the edge of the pipe is already straight.
Simply wrap a piece of paper around the pipe and align it and mark the pipe to get a square cut.
2:45, one slip your fingers coming off. Safety first folks!
Wonder if lost finger yet. Looks dangerous
Use a mitre box saw… it cuts clean and straight. Have a nice day!
Pipe cutter machine name sir
It's a battery power reciprocating saw by Milwaukee about $250.00 dollars is the USA
Milwaukee M18 Sawzall they also make a 12v (M12) for smaller stuff
This is a great tip, thanks 👍👍 FJB
Mation name

👍 👍
What is the name of that machine
I am thinking to buy it because it's very important and easy to work
Milwaukee M18 Sawzall they also make a smaller M12 (12v)
Watch your fingers. I know a guy who cut his thumb off with a recip saw on a pipe.
No question on your experience, but it does cause signs of concern having the blade so close to your hand and leg without any safety measures.
😂
Use a miter saw...
2:50 man your finger an 1" away from blade is scary. 3:24 this is better and safer.
OMG the way you use power tools is so dangerous. It's a wonder you still have fingers and legs. And the way you disrespect your tools, throwing a drill down into dirt?
Misen name
No way he still has all his fingers 2 years later. Well, that is if he didn’t already die from a severed femoral artery.
great video, but move the saw away from your body!
The way you show this is so dangerous...
i dont know about cutting pipes but am sure you will cut a few fingers off with these instructions
I thought the same thing... very risky operation!
@Richard Moore Maybe you need to make sure your fingers are far enough from the saw blade - as was clearly shown in the video?
Not really sure how you guys cut your pipes in crawlspaces and attics that you can't even spin your body. Sawzall easiest tool to cut all sizes in worst conditions.
Even the little m12 is pretty handy
OMG I cannot watch this video. I am not a sissy and I will use tools without certain safety but this is too much
your employer would neither appreciate dropping and throwing tools as you do
Good thing its DeWalt not Milwaukee
We sail under our own flag, Thanks for your comment.
@@NedSchneebly-eh7kh It's a Milwaukee not a Dewalt.
@@catfish24 Umm never seen a yellow Milwaukee drill before.
Imagine telling a guy to cut pipe and he starts doing this hahah
Wrap around and black magic marker
Thank you. Awesome video.
