Stainless pipe cutting

[Cashbuyer]

Need 4 x 25mm Stainless tubes cut to length. To be used as seat supports so need a clean cut and to be square.

Don't think my hacksaw skills will do...

Is there a company that could this this in the Thames Valley? Nearest Marlow, the better.

Hire a pipe cutter from your local hire company easy to cut with the right cutter as long as the wall thickness is not to great,

I have a chop saw with a carborundum disk which makes short work of mild steel presume it would do the same with stainless. How about using an angle grinder with a cutting disc?

Or buy one off eBay, use it and re-sell it.

Or, if you're like me, buy it and keep it even though you may never need it again!

I have just cut some stainless pipe one and a Half inch thick wall A hacksaw did it easily with next to no effort . Piece of A4 paper wrapped around gives a square edge,a good clamp ,workmate type bench ok BUT a must is a good quality blade (20/30 tpi) no cheap ones!Perhaps £2or £3 each blade from a good tool shop no cheepy chinky craρ

Thanks guys. Will perhaps try the good quality blade/saw. Always with a cheapo hacksaw I end up with a slant...
The Steel fabricators I have contacted will not cut at wall of 1.25mm. Apparently it collapses with their serious kit applied.

Why are you ignoring my P.M?

If you do try a hacksaw Try a couple of practice 1/8 inch cuts of the end of pipe. Let the saw do the work don't put downward pressure on blade long slow strokes not short fast ones.Turn the pipe away from you as you go , to maintain cutting on one side

If you want to find someone to do it for you, you need a machinist with a lathe rather than a fabricator.

get a mitre box couple of plastic clamps, hacksaw with a good quality blade, screw the mitre box down to a bench/ table. clamp your pipe to the box and saw away.
