How I Cut Saddles In Pipe With a Chop Saw-Descriptive Version

In this video I show you how I cope pipe using a dry cut chop saw. This method leave you with a really clean joint and is fairly quick to do. I use my SteelMax cold cut saw with a Diablo blade on it.

I've been welding pipe for 22 years and have never seen or heard of this, learned something new today, thank you for sharing.

I'm always amazed by the ingenuity of farmers. They are some of the brightest people around. Their skills and talent come out of necessity, they need to be mechanics, carpenters, veterinarians, doctors and fabricators. Remember people, without men and women like this young man, we don't eat.

Best video I have seen on a simple way to cut a saddle. Well done.

Your chop saw technique is wonderful . That bevel that is created by the chop saw, as you say gives wonderful extra space for the weld material . Good video .

This is epic. Ive coped pipe for year and years. I first started coping with a torch, then moved on to using a plasma. Today ive traded those both in for a chop saw.

One tip i have if your using seamed pipe is using the factory seam as the straight line for your copes. If using DOM tubing or anything without a seam your way is how i do it too.

Tradesmen sharing their knowledge never gets old… well done 👏👏👍

[georgewelker]

That’s totally the BEST WAY to cope tubing!! Simple clean and quick 😊

I was watching this video and then my neighbour came and we watched it together. He said that this video changed his life and touched his heart. I then went and rented a projector in a big field and all my villagers watched it and it changed their lives too. We all are so grateful.
Thank you for this video!

Well done. Thanks for sharing. Good to see you judging things “by eye”. As a tradesman fitter I was initially trapped in the idea that we had to use special mathematical methods and measuring equipment to do certain operations. This slowed me down and caused stress. When I eventually realised that my work would mostly be judged by others “by eye”, I began to use my own “by eye” judgement more. I think this helped me work faster and things became more relaxed and enjoyable. Best wishes from New Zealand.
