How Do U Cut 6" Aero Ports

[sactownstang]

Looking to change my port frequency a bit, wondering what the best way to cut the ports.

4" weren't to bad to use a hacksaw, but the 6" is a pain in the ass!!

Any ideas?

Top tip, don't use a jigsaw. It's really hard to get the cut straight all the way around unless you mark the cut and follow it super carefully.

Also you waste pipe and that 6" stuff can be hard to come across

I use a great big hand saw with fairly fine teeth. Makes quick easy work of it. Consider taping the pipe down to something to stop it wiggling around. Also masking tape around where you cut, makes it easier to mark out and prevents any mess if you slip when cutting it

I use a chop saw.

chop saw, band saw or if you have to use a table saw....just start your cut and turn the port slowly. use both hands.

havent we been talking about this for over a year? make the mark where you want it and drop them off. I will make your cuts for you, like i said i would so many times

trick for straight cuts with jig saw or hand saw, use a large band style hose clamp as a fence

like a ring compressor for pistons, that kind of clamp?

i wouldnt take a chance at scarring that up, just some hose clamps hooked together, make some guide marks on a few spots on the pipe and line up the clamp and tighten. then you can use a hacksaw or whatever and work tour way around the pipe

best way i have done is a V-block and a band saw. otherwise a miter saw or a table saw will work. i have also used a hack saw.
