Patterns for tubing joints, angles??
I'm looking for patterns that I can scale for cutting the
ends of steel tubing to make various angled joints. I want to make flat paper or plastic patterns I can roll around the tubing, mark the pattern, and cut the tubing so I have a good fitup for welding. I have figured out that the 'flat' pattern for a Tee joint in same-sized tubing is a Sine curve. But what about other angles than 90 degrees? What about unequal sized tubing? Maybe somebody has some great software tool to do this? Or maybe there are patterns online?? I hope! Thanks! -- Regards, Terry King ...In The Woods In Vermont The one who Dies With The Most Parts LOSES!! What do you need? |

Better than using patterns for small tubing is to just cut the tubing in the
right form. HF does have a tubing cutter for curved cuts - putting a tube to another tube type thing. -- There are more Democrats on the Calif. Special Election than Republicans! Go count if you don't believe me! Bob May |
