Re: Recent exhaust work

I'm with you on .045" zip cuts, you can do amazing stuff with them if you have a steady hand. My only complaint is the mess.

What you have is NOT a cold saw, it is a dry cut saw, they are...

Re: Starting my own fab shop!

That is an employee, not a business partner. Greed and lack of communication are the two biggest issues with partnerships, regardless of how much you trust them or like them before you jump in bed.

$500 is a fair price, $1000 is high but if someone forks it out you came out ahead.

I honestly don't know how any fab shop is going to survive serving VW/Audi owners. I wish you the best man, ditch the cheap bastards ASAP if you want to stick with this.

I Used Benjamin Moore, we did the prep right, so no chips or anything to deal with however it stains very easily. If I were to do it over I would use a concrete stain and not an epoxy.

Re: Recent exhaust work

Cold saws are available with 9"-48" blades. 10-14" would be your common "fab shop" sizes.

Cold saws are drastically different from cut off/chop saws. Your average 14" cold saw will

Re: First cage done by me 10 point

Its weak because you have a lot of unsupported bends and the nodes don't meet together to transfer energy.

Re: Recent exhaust work

Yeah that is a dry cut, not a cold saw. Now I understand why you said it was so noisy, and more expensive per cut than a band saw.

Cold saws are a completely different animal.

Re: First cage done by me 10 point

Hater? No, you built a week and poorly designed cage. You need to get some 1" tube gussets/supports in there.

Re: Recent exhaust work

I don't really like the 2 teeth thing, because it doesn't really equate to anything. Metal cutting is all based on SFM.

RPM = (3.82 x SFM) / Dia
Feed = RPM x Chip per tooth x No of Teeth

Re: Recent exhaust work

Should be cake, but you need to be running over 200 teeth even for .065".
Cold saws actually have lower cost per cut than bandsaws.

Re: who sells 2.5" v-band falnges and clamps?

I've been using the sanitary clamps for years. More reliable (zero failures), and WAAAYYYY faster for fitup if you are doing custom fab.
