Crazy_Nate Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I'm kinda curious as to what you're doing with a pipe that thick...if it was something serious...you probably wouldn't even consider a dremel as a viable option (yes, it CAN cut it...but why on earth would you want to do that?) Go rent an oxy-acetylene torch with a cutting head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Go rent an oxy-acetylene torch with a cutting head. Rent?!? No... Go buy the angle grinder and you'll have it for next time!!! This is the way I thought for many of my tools. This is partly why I have a great collection now. When I'll move into my own house, I won't have to buy any tool because I already have them. Heck, we even built my own workbench in the basement! It's smaller than my mother's one but still... BTW yeah it's my mother who plays with tools, not my father lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) I'd say buy tools, but only if you're going to use them sufficiently... I know I would, I know you would...not sure about queenz, though PS: If you want a REALLY easy way, and clean way...put it on a lathe with a carbide parting tool, run it at the correct RPM (use the machinists "bible" to calculate that). I've done stainless on a lathe with carbide tooling...there are worse materials to work with.

Go rent an oxy-acetylene torch with a cutting head. Oxy/Acy won't do a very nice job,,, you will still need to use a grinder to clean it up afterwards,,, Get a grinder and some zip discs and a 1/4 " grind disk and away you go,,, Or just take that piece of pipe to a welding shop and ask them to cut it,,, they would do this for free unless they are Jerks.. I am a welder and I don't charge anything less than a half hour... and i wouldn't feel right about charging 1/2 hr for 2 seconds work.
