Going to make up a new set of pipes for a rear subframe (Preg car heavily corroded pipes but were leaking gently out of sight) by adding joints at the point where the pipes go forward of the passenger side rear jacking point. Need to know how to cut the piping to give a clean end free of swarf ready to form the pipe end into a joint. Regards XMexc -------------------- An interest in 2.5TD's. Location: Hampshire, U.K.

That might do it. -------------------- Dave. To flush, or not to flush? That is the question.............. 2.5TD VSX Hatch RP 6738 1992 BX16 TXS........Hasn't been well but getting better! Now has driveshaft gaiters and a dry bottom! Black Country, Staffs.

I found a similar one in Wickes (needed a manhole cover for the current non XM project). Nice little cutter which goes down to 3mm diameter pipe and despite being blue not red it cuts the small pipes very cleanly. Regards XMexc -------------------- An interest in 2.5TD's.
