Default How do you cut pipes, elbows, merge collector pipes etc???

Hi guys / girls.

I have recently had some issues in my shop with different types of pipe cutting.

So.....could you gentlemans and ladies show how do you cut pipes, elbows, merge colector pipes and others.

Attached some examples of what I am interested (sorry 9 bells for using some of you photos)

bandsaw is probably the most common, followed by chop saw.

compound miter saw with a fiber wheel ftw seriously though, works well, nearly everyone had one, and metal cutting fiber wheels are like 2 bucks at home depot lol

Everything you see in those pictures could be accomplished with a 4.5" right angle hand grinder and a cut off wheel (with a decent belt sander to smooth it out after the cut). Cold saws, band saws, hot saws, wet abrasive saws, mills, laser, plasma, waterjet, crap the list goes on and on.

How didn't they help? Everyone who posted took the time to answer your question. do they need to post a step by step how to for you to figure it out? Anything that will cut metal can be used, there is also a thread (post your collector jigs) that has over 50 different pictures of what members are using to accomplish collector cuts...

If you cant even figure out what type of machine to cut the metal with how the hell are you going to figure out the other hundred steps?

Yup, some people are fabricators and some aren't. I think we can agree who the op is.

No offense OP but you kinda put yourself out there with this one.
