Cutting and Notching, angles. Need some help

[griff01]

I have an old 1/2" drill motor I use on mine. I have never tried to cut black iron pope with it though, just steel and chromoly tubing for roll cages. It's probably thinner than what you're cutting. <br />
<br />
I remember hearing about a website you could go to, plug in the parameters (diameter, angle, wall thickness, etc) and it would generate a printable template in a .PDF format. Provided you print it at the correct scale, supposed to be spot on. I've never used it. Too impatient for that.

Here is one: http://www.pipesaddlelayout.com/

I've tried to use these print ones but I can't seem to get it right.... I don't even know which section I am supposed to be in, being foreign and all I lack some of the lingo. IF I am doing a piece at an angle, from one piece to another say, a 60* angle on both ends, then I have to notch it to fit snug. I can get the pieces to fit up pretty flat but its the notching that gets me as I can't get it to sit close to the pipe on all sides.

Here's the little notcher that I have. Pulled it out just for your immigrant arse....

[Olivero]

That's a really small notcher, I can barely see it....

[ryanjones2150]

I don't have the compensating issues you have.

[Olivero]

Lol.... The picture is so small I can barely tell what it is.

[Olivero]

Well, thanks for all the pointers and help, here is the finished tire rack, all painted and loaded up.

I had to build a duplicate of an existing one which is the one behind mine.

[ryanjones2150]

Bout time you got that thing done.

[Olivero]

You are just never satisfied are you?

[ryanjones2150]

Hey now....be nice to me, I'm only critical of you because you're Scandinavian....<br />
<br />
...and I think you're probably a decent human being that I'd throw a beer or three back with...<br />
<br />
....but ya! Took your dadgum sweet time didn't ya?!!

[Olivero]

Haha, good to know the truth.....

What's wrong with being scandinavian? That's awfull nice of ya, right back at ya.

I did take my time, its true! I admit it...... Too much planning and being thrown everywhere else, I did all of that on like 3 hours a day type of thing until I said, that's it! I've had it. I am finishing it, worked from 2 PM till 6 AM and got it done.

Could've used those beers right then.

[ryanjones2150]

What's wrong with being Scandinavian? Don't ask silly questions brother! I've played hockey with too many Scandinavians....

[Olivero]

Ha. Hockey is not our strong suit as far as I know.

That's all you got?

[ryanjones2150]

I'm being nice, it's a new year....don't antagonize me dadgum it.

[ryanjones2150]

And as far as Scandinavians' strong suit...clearly not building a tire rack in a reasonable amount of time....or hockey, as you admit....what else YOU got?
