How to cut a pipe into a pipe of different diameters at 90 degrees without a gap.

Hello to all metal lovers!

Today we will analyze an elementary way of how to cut a pipe into a pipe at 90 degrees, if they have different diameters.

More recently, the channel had an article on how to insert a pipe into a pipe at 90 degrees of the same diameter.

Here is a photo from this article, read it by clicking here

This is the result of cutting pipes of different diameters. Check out these 11 photos in the gallery below, and let's start to disassemble the process itself.

In order for the pipe to sit tightly at a right angle on another pipe, we need to calculate and make such a cutout at the end of the cut pipe.

We need a pipe with a diameter of 76 mm to cut into a pipe with a diameter of 89 mm.

I take the electrode, do not be surprised, and mark 76 mm on it from the edge, and half of this number is 38 mm.

Now we put this electrode with a marking of 38 mm on the very top of the pipe - well, of course we do it by eye, there a couple of millimeters back and forth won't make the weather.

And with a square we measure the distance from the beginning of the electrode and the marking of 76 mm to the surface of the pipe, the numbers are about 21, 22 mm.

Let's make one more measurement for accuracy, put the electrode on the pipe with a mark of 76 mm and measure the distance from the beginning of the electrode to the pipe, divide this size by 2, we also got these 22 mm.

Now we divide the end of the pipe into 4 even parts, marking them with dots. From any point, set the size of 22 mm along the pipe directly along the axis, and mark the same distance at the opposite point.

We need to draw 2 ovals through these points and points on the end of the pipe. For smooth markings, take a plastic clamp and make smooth markings along it, well, you can do it by eye, who has a good eye.

Take a small grinder and cut out these 2 segments, leading the cutting disc along the markings.

We cut it out with a grinder according to the markings, now we just try on this cutout at the end of the 76 pipe as it will sit at a right angle on the 89 pipe.

You yourself saw the result in the photo at the beginning of the article.

Friends, for a more visual explanation of this process, I shot a small video, let's see, because the article does not convey all the slightest details.
