cutting pipes

[wanttolearn]

Hi guys what way do you find best to cut copper pipe to solder onto when they are too close together or too close to a joist to use your pipe slice

A crowbar and a slice.

Easier to just saw and remove the joist...theres plenty more either side. Im kidding !!!

As above, depends what i can lau my hands on first !

Junior hacksaw and then file the rough edge off if just one pipe to join to.
Or if 2 pipes, then junior hacksaw first pipe and then cut the second longer using a pipe slice so no pipe in the way.
You could try a multi tool I guess, but suspect they leave the pipe rubbed rough

Hacksaw blade taken out of frame and reversed so it cuts on the pull stroke.

I find the best way is a Kung Fu Chop

as above but if none will work, 9" grinder will get the job done

Hope it helps you on the odd wee job. No doubt the first 10 teeth of the blade will get all the wear. :smile:

Use a joist remover, Petrol and a blow torch would be my first choice. Failing that as above multi tool with a metal blade.
Please don't use petrol. lol
