Looking for a Tool - Dont know the name in English

Postby Classic Finn » Sat Mar 20, 2010 11:36 am

Hey folks. I was trying to look for a tool that makes a cut into tubing the same radius as the tube itself.. Im building the roof rack for our tear and I have a tube and or pipe bending tool however in order to splice into the tube it gives a rounded or diameter equal cut like tube itself.

Im lost in my words for it in English..I went looking for this tool cutter however I cant find anything like it..any name or photo or link would be of help. ;)

I know that the tube can be welded to the other however it would be helpful and easier to do so if the tube is cut at the end to match the radius of that specified adjoining tubing..

Thank You .. :thumbsup:

Depends where you buy them....there are all kinds on the internet and some are "jigs" that use your existing Drill Press others are self-contained tools.

you can use a hole saw and a portable electric drill. I've done it many times with good results. just drill the pilot hole through the pipe first and replace the drill bit in the hole saw with a 1/4" steel rod long enough to go all the way through the pipe. if the pipe is really thin you can use a hole saw made for tile with diamond grit rather than saw teeth.

I just took a look see in my tools and low n behold I just found my some hole cutter blades.. ;) :D

Im using 20mm aluminum tubing for a test run.. Maybe its strong enough to use for a rack.. if not I have some electrical conduit here too. :twisted:

Thank you for the info..
