For high-quality welding of round metal pipes, it is necessary to ensure a good fit of the workpieces. To do this, cut the saddle at the end of the pipe. To do this as accurately as possible help a homemade adapt.
Moreover, it should be noted that this homemade product is in no way inferior in quality to factory models, but it will cost much cheaper. So it makes sense to spend some time and make such a device - in the home workshop is useful.
First of all, the master cuts all the necessary blanks that will be used in the process. The base is a thick steel plate. A rotary platform is installed on it, which will allow you to adjust the cutting angle.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, the master makes a clamp that will fix the workpiece from scraps of a plate, a piece of a corner and a hairpin. All parts are welded together and welded to the base.
After that, it remains only to clean the welds and paint the homemade product. A crown for metal of the desired diameter is installed, and this device can be tested in operation.
An electric power drill is used as a drive. At the end of the bar to which the crown is attached, it is necessary to grind the shank. When working, be sure to use coolant.
