Wishuponasub Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 As boomintahoe said, generally the more teeth the blade has the finer the cut will be.

jk13 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 We cut cardboard or plastic tubes on the table saw with a fine tooth carbide blade. Set up the fence, butt one end up to it, and rotate the tube backwards (top toward yourself) as it cuts through. For hand tools @ShadeTreeMechanic's got your answer. Static drops are my bag.

Reaper Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 What about a pipe cutter? Same type used in plumbing. Just get a large one. I've able to cut up to 10"+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've able to cut up to 10"+ Can u recomend one that you used for the larger pipes? That would work really good for a square cut, but ill have to use another technique for when i have to cut the tube at an angle. Im making a "truncated cylinder" shape out of this cylinder. Thanks for ur help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do a little, turn a little,do a little, turn a little. All the way around on your mark. You are trying to cut it too fast. The friction from cutting causes it to melt and then grab. If you lived any closer to me, you could bring it over and I would cut it for you. Ill go check lowes tonight for one. Thanks for the specifics, that helps me out alot. Id be over there at lowes staring at hack saws for two hours goggling reviews and recommendations as i always do lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06RTCharger Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 So i got the tube cut today/tonight. Took a long ass time tryna fingure out how to draw the right lines but i got it. Ill post up the progression pics when i get the pic upload issue figured out, then ill start the build log. But heres the cut, as clean as id expect from a hacksaw. Used a 32tpi 12" blade. Bought a lennox hacksaw and a 3 pack of blades 18/24/32tpi. I tried 32 and it worked good. Alot of elbow grease tryna hold the tube still and tryna hacksaw straight and smooth. Still hand to do some sanding but im happy with how it turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
