Tube Coping / Notching Calculator

[hellbndr23]

Hey guys I found this calculator that will let you print out a template for notching pipes to fit them together. Trace onto pipe and cut with a plasma cutter or torch and they fit like a charm. Used it on the Sami bumper.

It will even do it for different sized pipes and different angles.

Thanks for posting. I used to have some patterns and used up/misplaced/over the years ...never could find anymore at welding supply shops. Got that bookmarked now!

That's pretty clever!

I've always used paper towel tubes for small pipe, and made tubes out of posterboard for larger tubing.

I'd really like to have a set of Pipe Master tools if I did more fab work.
