I could never remember all that folding... lol heres how I'd simply do it: Take bigger diameter and retract the smaller diameter. Split the difference in however many sides you want (3 for a square, 5 for a hexagon, 7 for a octagon etc.) The result is the width of each triangle cutout, all you have to do is space them out evenly... how far you cut your triangle into the end of the pipe determines how steep/shallow a transition you will get...

Yes, but measuring and marking is a different thing than calculating. Subdividing an arc and getting precise and parallel tick marks is difficult without a pattern.
And not have the disk spinning directly towards your very vulnerable wrists so any metal shards or, of course, high velocity chunks of particle disk, fly off and sever arteries or tendons in your wrist if the disc explodes.
@@jonathanfinger712 yes, but when it stars to grind the glove you've got the time to remove your hand. I always use thick leather gloves when I use an angle grinder and dispite all my care sometimes they got bite by the grinder (especially after several hours of work). But once I forgot my gloves and it nearly cost me a finger (not a playword lol !!)..
Or in the same amount of time, run to the parts store and get the correct reducer like a professional. While you're there, buy some gloves and a guard for that grinder.
@hey guys This is a trash method to make money. I'm sure some shade tree hobbyist with 110v Hobart using innershield throwing bird crap at a rusty exhaust on a $200 Ford Ranger might do this. Or some hippy making yard art out of junk. A reducer is $4. The cut off wheel is $5, plus the time to do all the measuring, cutting and fitting. Anyone doing this lost money. Just buy the right parts.
@@johnsaa7325 Wrong. I've been through both OSHA and MSHA training. As well as being a safety supervisor at a massive fab shop. Wearing gloves while grinding is just the opposite of unsafe
Ok, but what is the application?? They have tubing benders, and expanders and reducing jigs for that. What are you fabricating? A muffler for a lawnmower?

Haters will be haters. Everybody has "a better way of doing it", but none of them have a video doing it. He's showing a very simple way of achieving the results he wants, and he achieved it. Good video.
This is the type of shit someone does to their exhaust and lays a bubblegum weld with tons of leaks because they can't weld for shit laying on their back, then brings it to me when they can't get it sealed and says "can't you just weld it up?"
I think this is great and yes there are probably better ways of doing this but for this gentleman this way works. Now if all those who are hate commenting put a link of your how to video so we can compare.
These videos are so funny because these “hacks” take like an hour or more of intense work and there are very cheap adapter and fittings for all this stuff.

This is not pipe its just a galvanized tube probably a fence post or maybe an exhaust "pipe". Sometimes you can't get a fitting for this. Sometimes it isn't worth the wait ordering something.
Psk, that is what he did - graphically instead of mathematically. The cool thing about the way he did it is that it’s easy to make the marks around the pipe without any extra figuring, measuring, etc. By doing this the marks are automatically equally spaced around the pipe without trying to bend a tape measure around the pipe. And he also sets the location of the tip of the triangle to cut out at the same time.
Yeah... This Is DIY... So It Mean This Things Is Suitable For A People That Are Not Affordable To Spend A Lots Of Money On Somethings... Same As Me... So This Type Of People Ofcourse Does Not Have Much Money To Spend For A MIG Type Welder... Same With Me, Maybe They Will Have A Cheap Type Welder, Arc Type/Rod Type... It Is Really Hard To Weld Thin Plate Using Rod... If They Got A Money To Buy MiG Welder, Im Sure It Is Better They Buy A Joiner/Socket To Connect Those Pipes Than Doing This Thing....
@@DS-mm6fh Ofcourse We Can Braze It... It Is Much Easier... But As I Mention Before, We Need To Find That Tool For Brazing... So It Will Cost Us More Than We Buying Socket/Joiner...

But For Other People, I Think A Lots Of Them Does Not Have Brazing Tools Compare To Rod Welding Tools... For The People That Already Have MiG/TiG Or Brazing Tools, Ofcourse They Can Used It... It Is Easier And Practical...
One of the best thing about dude is that he never take credit for himself when he achieves something.he always respect us, the audience and his team, and is polite in all video. We congratulate ovrselves on this achievement more to come ✨❤
To many "Pros" commenting that this is bad must be bad welders. Straight pipe is cheap fitting and expanders aren't. Your father or grand father would probably love this and tell you it's how we did things back in the day. Way more welds then that in a most custom exhaust hundreds in a pie cut stainless. Save money do it yourself and have confidence in your welds.
or maybe they subscribe to the addage of work smarter, not harder. if you're doing this for a project for yourself, sure, do this to show it off... But if you're on site and working on a project for someone else, buy the collars and save that time... you'll get the money back in materials costs from the client, and save what looks to be a ton of time. It really has nothing to do with being a good or bad welder, quit assuming anyone who would rather jsut do the job and move on is a bad welder. (Also, he never actually welds anything in this video, so...) True pros use the proper gear, and use it correctly. probably took this chap over an hour of actual work on this single fitting, and it's still not welded... buy the collar, save 45 minutes, weld twice, move on. Less chance for leaks.
@@AKStovall Depends on what you're working on, you can't always get a collar for certain sizes, or get one made there and then. In which case this is how it's always been done, it's a very old method that I'm glad to see still has a place in fabrication.
I like the thumbs up at the end, just to prove he hadn't cut it off with that grinder.
Good work🙂🤝🤝🤝
I think I’d much rather just slide a reducer on there and weld it twice.
My thoughts exactly lol
Bro....
I'd just swage the pipes and weld them once.
But if you are on the field and you can't find a reducer?

This is a bodge job.
Thank you. This technique got me out of trouble more than once!!
One other good trick every welder should know is wearibg gloves while using angle grinders !!!
Grinder could grab the glove tho
Or keep the guard/handle on it
And not have the disk spinning directly towards your very vulnerable wrists so any metal shards or, of course, high velocity chunks of particle disk, fly off and sever arteries or tendons in your wrist if the disc explodes.
No.

Excellent job! Buddy
Amazing idea
I have eyeballed such fixes before, and they worked OK, but with somewhat irregular results. The trick of using the paper strips is really cool.
Or in the same amount of time, run to the parts store and get the correct reducer like a professional. While you're there, buy some gloves and a guard for that grinder.
My guy you never grind with gloves on thats one hell of a safety issue!
There isn’t always a correct sized reducer on hand at the parts stores. I’ve been there and am thankful to have a welder, heat tape, and Jb weld

Ok, but what is the application??
They have tubing benders, and expanders
and reducing jigs for that.
What are you fabricating? A muffler for a
lawnmower?
The application is sunday afternoon and you need to drive your car to work on Monday morning. Sometimes pipes just need to be joined.
I Hope nothing. This messes with pressures flow and erosion
It would be faster to buy the adapter.
A rosette splice would be superior. I hope it isn't structural because that end would be questionable.
@@SirAngusSteele what's the fun in that
Most welders cutters and fitters would not do this because they have tools that give them the measurements and knowledge of where to make changes at. Now, this would be handy when you do not have the right equipment

I work for a very large gas and electric utility. We have so much pipe in the ground with home made reducers like this. But like 16" to 6" with 60psi of gas in it
Or… just purchase a reducer!! No pipefitter in their right mind is going to spend the time to do this!
We can save money
@@hansborole4718 actualy by not buying that reducer, you loose money. Less welding Time, easier and in the long run less maintenance.

To all reducer use adviser: To joint steel 16 ich tube to another similar but 8 inch.
This is tubing....not really for pipe. Purely cosmetic connections

Using a thin cut-off disc without gloves or a blade guard is a good indication there might be a better way to layout a concentric reducer .

Yes because this pops up every? Never?
I will just make sure to order the right size.
If they are secrets that every good welder should know then they wouldn't be secrets would they
