  • In this video I show you how I cope pipe using a dry cut chop saw. This method leave you with a really clean joint and is fairly quick to do. I use my SteelMax cold cut saw with a Diablo blade on it.

    I'm always amazed by the ingenuity of farmers. They are some of the brightest people around. Their skills and talent come out of necessity, they need to be mechanics, carpenters, veterinarians, doctors and fabricators. Remember people, without men and women like this young man, we don't eat.

      And without the truck drivers that haul the crops we dont eat either, along with those that drive the tractors, load it onto trains, bankers that loan the farmers money, used car salesmen that help provide transportation to get to the corn feild to work, and the rest of us that do it so people can eat, mainly the people sitting across the dinner table, just like the farmer. People work for the money, farmers and cops. If they didnt do it someone else would.

      @@ChefKevinRiese The point to take away is that most people with the ability to weld already have or can justify sending the money on a chop saw. But unless you are welding a lot of round tubing this is the way to go. If you are arguing the absolute easiest way you can think of and money is not of factor then the easiest would be a 4 axis CNC plasma.

      @LuthiRanchWY  Год назад +13

      I never said anything about this being the best and only way to saddle pipe. It has its limitations. It would be hard to do if you are trying to fit up any joint other than ones at 90 degrees and you would have to figure out different angles if you are trying to join pipe of different diameters. It’s another way to do something and I believe in having more than one way to skin a cat. I would argue though that it makes the prettiest and best fit up

    For those wondering where the angle comes from:
    it's just a number that works well for this diameter and thickness...
    The angle will be about 25 degrees for this case: 10cm diameter, 3 cm wall thickness
    It's just a number that works for the dimensions he's using
    This is a tradeoff between 1/ approximating the outer diameter of the tube, with the inner curve of the cut (which is an ellipse , project in the right plane)
    2/ the amount of grinding he's doing at 5:05
    3/ the geometry that's he comfortable welding (shape / size of the chamfer)
    There is no formula for this
    The only case that fits perfectly with no grinding, is : thickness of the wall = 0, angle = 45 degrees.
    This is just a mathematical problem equivalent to approximating a circle arc with an ellipse arc of different radii, and center, this is not trivial.

      I appreciate the OP's technical remarks. In fact, I wonder if there is in fact a universal formula that can be used for all (or most) common pipe sizes and wall thicknesses, which can then be used to make a table for quick reference. Or, for simplicity, disregard wall thickness and expect grinding in all cases.
      The common man may not be aware of geometry and the different angles required for different diameters of pipes, and simply following this video's 32⁰ - 33⁰ cut for any and all sizes can result in disaster. Those who don't like additional information can simply ignore it. At the least, be aware that one angle doesn't fit all.
      I thank the channel for the great tip and clear video, and the OP for the additional information.

Just like the tables of "Bend Allowances" cater for all angles, radii and sheet thickness.

    Well done. Thanks for sharing. Good to see you judging things “by eye”. As a tradesman fitter I was initially trapped in the idea that we had to use special mathematical methods and measuring equipment to do certain operations. This slowed me down and caused stress. When I eventually realised that my work would mostly be judged by others “by eye”, I began to use my own “by eye” judgement more. I think this helped me work faster and things became more relaxed and enjoyable. Best wishes from New Zealand.

    Slick !! does pipe diameter effect the angle,how do you find it if it changes,

    • @dougdouglass1248
      @dougdouglass1248 Год назад +1

      If the size is the same, no if you're going to larger post than the diameter of the horizontal it flattens. It also depends on the diameter of your posts as the the angle to make your cuts.

    • @LuthiRanchWY
      @LuthiRanchWY  Год назад +2

      Yes to what Dougdouglass said. The angle will be the same no matter the size as long as the 2 pieces you are joining are the same diameter.

    I've cut saddles for 30 years, don't even have to mark anything any more just eyeball it, roll the torch and hit the tips w/ a grinder. But I have been dieing to do more precise and frankly healthier and cleaner cuts w/ the new blades. Blade tech has come so far in the past 10 years and its reasonably affordable now. Glad I found this video, I really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing. :)

    I also like that the iron bevel gives you enough metalsurface to start welding. No need to grind up a clean spot! Thats not much, but if you have to weld a LOT of them together, it sure safes Time and grinding Discs..

    • @WW5RM
      @WW5RM 6 месяцев назад

      @@LuthiRanchWY go look at Drill pipe on a drilling rig. Then come back and tell me that thin walled stuff is the same. Drill pipe is at least 2X thicker if not more. Probably more like 3 - 4 X as thick if memory serves me. It's a HUGE difference i know that. And I'm talking wall thickness not diameter.
      2-3/8 & 2-7/8 is considered Production pipe in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi I know for sure. Which is where I worked for 14 years. I thought maybe you had something heavier that was strictly for drilling. But when I seen its thickness it didn't look different to me. Most everyone calls it oilfield pipe or Tubing.
