A warning on pipe-cutters

Don't waste the rest of your life without one of these. That is a decent idea. We are always borrowing one from a neighbor or something. Do you use a guide when you cut seatposts with your saws all? Can you supply a picture or link? ---Nathan -- nathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nathan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/251 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73116 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

A warning on pipe-cutters
It is not important to get my brand of saws all. Just get one. You don't need a guide. I use a vise to hold the post, but a foot holding it to a log would do as well, 20 seconds with a saws all and you have a clean cut. More importantly, life is full of rusted crap, or hard to reach things that shouldn't be there. This tool will do a lot more to bring joy into your life then just shorten seat posts. With a long wood cutting blade, you can cut an 8x8 post in half, in a few minutes, with no effort, as long as you can reach it with an out stretched arm. Put in a metal cutting blade, and you can cut a solid bar of steel, in short time. Oil the blade, while cutting thick steel, they are cheap, but a little oil helps keep them sharp. No carpenter, plumber, mechanic, or anyone that doesn't want to live their life as a victim should face another job without a saws all. -- feel the light ------------------------------------------------------------------------ feel the light's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14551 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73116 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

A warning on pipe-cutters
I bought a similar electric reciprocating saw a couple of years ago, intending to use it to cut through siezed Triumph Herald rear trunnion bolts. It's really good for cutting through almost anything EXCEPT Triumph Herald rear trunnion bolts I still use a normal hacksaw for cutting seatposts though - it makes a cleaner cut and needs less filing afterwards (and by the time I've got the electric saw out of the cupboard, fitted a blade and plugged it in I may as well have used the hand saw - seatposts are very easy to cut after all).

All you need to do when cutting aluminum is to run the blade through some wax. The hard red sprue wax they use for foundry casting works the best, and it works for hacksaws, bandsaws, and angle grinders. -- Buretto ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Buretto's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17991 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73116 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I do about 50/50 aluminum/steel seat posts, if anything, more steel. -- nathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nathan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/251 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73116 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
