I really like owning tools...

Maybe get a cheap miter box to help you cut straight, or find a way to hold the conduit better while you cut it with the Sawzall. And with the right blade, shouldn’t really have rough edges. Could use a portable band saw or chop saw if you have one, or for all your pipe cutting needs, there’s the Dewalt DW872 basically a specialized chop saw. Way overkill unless you really like owning tools. Or cut a lot of metal pipe, angle, etc. From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Roland Houin Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2020 10:48 AM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT cutting emt Pipe cutter to cut, unibit works well to deburr. roland From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of ch...@wbmfg.com Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2020 11:46 AM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] OT cutting emt I haven’t run a ton of emt in my life but some. I have a new garage to wire. What is the best way to cut and deburr emt? Normally I use a sawsall with a hack saw blade in it. Never notice what really proficient electricians use. My method leaves me with an angled cut with plenty of rough edges. I am sure there are deburring tools dedicated to emt. I am considering using a tubing cutter but I don’t want the end swaged down to a smaller size that might catch and skin the wire a bit. I guess some kind of tapered reamer could then smooth it out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
