Cutting PVC

[nickman]

If you have to cut PVC in half width wise, what is the best method. For the first time I cut em I spend $20 to get 2 10 footers cut in half. Way too much if u ask me. My friends use electric saw things, but I dont have one, and its not that clean of a cut anyway. Any ideas?

why can't you borrow your friends?

They dont cut them well... Its all jagged.

 

[ginty]

i think i used a saw, then sanded it a bit.. i think?

 

[tribefan226]

dont cut em. they're fine the way they are

if you have to cut them, snap a line with a chalk line to get a straight line, and just use a handsaw going slowly and carefully and it will be fine

yeah ive cut mine with a fine saw like a hacksaw and its worked out fine. i just had to cut off small parts on the ends but it came out pretty clean

 

[grapesoda]

use a jigsaw or a hacksaw nigga.

 

[TheButterHashira]

hacksaw should work if you keep it steady

Well...I used a sawzal when cutting mine..they went right off like nothing..just use a hand saw and do one piece at a time

what kind of rail do u need to cut them for?

 

[MadSteezin]

if you have to cut them use a jig saw and go slow or use a radial saw and pull the blade up more so it doesnt hang down so far.

wouldnt it be rediculously hard to use a saw cutting 10 ft through pvc

table saw would probably work the best

 

[TheButterHashira]

who the fuck has a table saw at their house tough?

 

[Lineskiah11]

haha i actually do. i use that to cut anything its amazing

 

[steevner]

cut it how ever the fuck you know how, then sand it or file it so it's smooth/straight

 

[C.J.]

so do I. That is the only thing I would try and do that with.
