Just a Little heads up.
Invest in a quality chop saw before cutting this type of tubing.
I used a sawzall and an angle grinder.
First of cutting this stuff with a sawzall or recriprocating saw or hacksaw is a major pain in my back.
Went through like 7 blades on my sawsall cutting it.
Little hint on cutting dont try and cut the line perfect.
Cause you wont do it.
Stay inside your cut line and finish off the line with your angle grinder.
I suggest redrawing your line before you grind.
Make sure its a clean line.
Hacksaw = $@#%%^@^ @&@&#^^# thats me cussing lol.
I own a quality hacksaw and still was cussing.
I would still be cutting parts.
Angle grinder with cutoff disc = $$%%^$%$% ^^%%#$$$ cussing again.
This is worse on 14 guage than the hacksaw IMHO.
Sawzall will zip right through it fairly quick.
But blades I got were F#@king junk I guess.
One tube cut both ends to length. cut 2 angles. get a new blade LOL
The 30 buck neiko 4 1/2" angle grinder is well built for the price.
If you buy a Neiko get the orange and black one its 900 watts and 6.8 amps.
The blue and black one is 500 watts and 4.2 amps.
The One I bought is all metal and a little heavy.
The blue one is absolute junk but very light....
I see myself spending quality time with my Neiko.
Got all my Tubes cut today angles and all.
And all but main tube and 2 short tubes ground to almost perfection.
Would have taken pics but It got dark on me.
Rain forcast for tommorow don't think I'll get much done.
