Just got a new tool delivered this week that makes pipe cutting operations very smooth. I highly recommend a pipe bug if you have the need to cut large pipes.

Does this have anything to do with your "random comments" thread? 
We are still all waiting on the "Random Pictures" thread you know.

Do not look back, and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come;
Live life in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

Well by the sound of it Frank they haven't started to cut the pipe yet..
Give it a few years. Monster industrial cannons don't grow overnight 
8k for a cutting torch that pulls itself round a pipe!
The cost of some industrial toys seem insane on a hobby forum.

That's a pretty specialized torch, they may even build them as the orders come in...demand will way outweigh the supply.Hotwired wrote:8k for a cutting torch that pulls itself round a pipe!

Also, $8k for a serious tool in industry is chicken feed guys.... 8)

Word. Imagine what kind of cannon you could make with 8k though! If I had 8k to poop out, i'd design something so sick it would just be totally retarded and unnecessary.starman wrote: Also, $8k for a serious tool in industry is chicken feed guys.... 8)
So when I was choosing a material for my project, I thought "Oh, I bet titanium would be strong and light". I saw the price of a square foot of 1/8" material and almost choked on my tongue.
You'd make one chicken very satisfied...

Not true at all! The pipe bug is sooo damned cool, that even though we just took delivery of it this week, we've only one cut left to make. The damned thing is just Fracking Cool!CasinoVanart wrote:Well by the sound of it Frank they haven't started to cut the pipe yet..
