what cutting tool should i use to cut my 3" alumuin intercooler pipes?

 

chainsaw

 

butterknife

 

my rock hard nipples

 

seriouly what can i use. band saw? we have this cut off saw but it does a shitty job and successfully took a huge chunk out of a brand new blade.

i tried searching and came up with nothing

 

lol, i use my bandsaw.

 

i tried the hard nipple way.....not so much
chainsaw....too messy
butterknife would have taken a long time.


thanks tony1
what kind of blade do you use. i was in the process of buying one a sears but they didnt have a metal cutting blade to fit it?

 

Use a wood cutting mitersaw with a reverse rake blade and some cutting wax. Gauranteed that it will cut like butter.

 

get an angle grinder

 

hacksaw

 

For a clean cut go with a band saw with metal blade. It will cut easily and leave a clean finish. Never tried a miter saw but I like to stick with what works and leaves a clean cut.

 

I use a bandsaw with a little bit of cutting oil to keep the blade cool and from getting clogged. Works like a charm.

 

ok honestly .. bandsaw. doesnt leave to much crap behind. cut off wheel works too or a big 14" blade cut off miter saw setup but its messy and its a bitch to clean up

 

awsome


thanks gentleman for your help

 

I use a big cut off saw. It leaves rough edge but I found a sharp utility knife is great for cleaning off the 'flaps' on the trailing edge of the cuts. Then I just face if with a belt sander. Quick and easy

I can vouch for this.

We cut aluminum track lighting at work with a mitersaw.. just wear saftey glasses.


The best way to cut almost anything for our cars.. would be a coldsaw. Cuts to the degree.
