The angle really doesn't change much. But if you change how deep the cut is, that will affect it for than anything. Ive tried a few things that I have read online to work , but nothing so far has given me anything other than a square shape...... Kinda frustrated by this point. Maybe im not thinking about it correctly .
Sorry, this is one of those things that would be easier to show than to describe... What I see here is that you've made a piece with symmetrical sides... If all the parts have symmetrical sides, they're all going to fit together into a rectangle with symmetrical sides ( == a square) no matter what the angle, no? I would think that you need to cut the right cut deeper (normal to the blade) on two and the the left cut deeper on the other two to roll things around into a rectangle. Does that make any sense?
...Wishing I had SolidWorks on this machine to play around with this on the airplane today.
Krew, when you turn your pipe, go further 96-98 degrees to get the rectangle.
Does that go for all the cuts ? obviously if you keep everything the same for all the cuts it will be the same no matter what you do. I haven't messed with this again since the other day . Will play with it more this weekend.
Built this at work. Roller table that will capture a pump motor on pallet for associates to sub assemble hydraulic pump before install into forklift. Right now they have to use 2 different Jibs to lift and place the motor on the sub table and then to pallet. Still need to add clamps
Define sleeved? All I did was cut the end off. Weld the metal to extend and join the end back where it should be. I then added another piece of metal on top and bottom for added strength. The ends and plates were all notched for better penetration. This is just a single pass using Regular ER70-2 rod. Starting amps were about 60, not sure what I was welding at but if I had to guess it would be around 150 or so. I will be doing another job that requires shortening of knuckles soon. I will practice more on getting a good root pass and then a cap weld.
I was assuming there is metal that was added inside those four pieces you used to join the knuckle, those pieces being a cap around it to add strength.

How thick are those pieces?
The middle is 2 3/4x3/4 square rod welded together in the middle . The top and bottom are 1/8x1 plate.
Got this in the mail today. Only had to pay 100$ out of pocket . Had some Sears gift cards from work that I used to get this . Should be enough to do what I need around my shop. It's the same brand as my tig welder , I know my tig works great so I'm certain this Will also.
its some local atv shop that has a banshee on alcohol. I just helped him draw up some lca's among other parts on autocad to reduce weight and cut them out on the water jet.
