Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a mixture of multiple metal alloys for the purpose of rust resistance. The main ingredient is a mixture of at least 12% chromium. When combined with Oxygen it forms a passive film layer resistant to rust and stains.
5 1 2 Circular Saw
Stainless pipe is composed of a nonferrous metal. This makes the tube difficult to cut and drill with conventional tools. Different pipe grades and thicknesses increase these difficulties.
Cutting Stainless Pipes
When stainless pipe cutters contact a stainless tube it hardens thus making it difficult to cut. If the stainless tube over heats while cutting the tube may discolor or possibly distort the pipe.
Steps To Cut Stainless Steel Pipe Straight and Burr-Free
Conventional, burr-free, straight cuts are accomplished as described below:
1. Cut the stainless steel pipe
2. Using a bench grinder stone wheel de-burr the pipe
3. With wire wheel on bench grinder clean the edges of the tube
4. Sand the tube with a sander until its flat
5. Clean with a wire wheel
6. TIG weld it to the other pipe
Repetition of some of the above steps may be required to make sure the cut is flat and burr free. Very time consuming.
Cutting Stainless Pipes - Two Recommended Methods
Orbital Pipe Saw
Orbital pipe saw is a recommended method to cut and bevel stainless steel pipes. The saw blades are small, rotate at high speed, inexpensive, and available in different versions for different materials and wall thicknesses.
Cutting is executed by manually rotating the machine housing 360 degree around the pipe. Next, with a circular toothed blade, the pipe is cut with a single rotation. The cutting action takes mere seconds and end result is a straight and clean cut.
Saw Guide combined with Portable Band Saw
The portable Band Saw cutter must have sufficient power and be sturdy. The Saw Guide eliminates most vibration. Steady feeds are most important to prevent tool riding on the stainless pipe.
