The post i made was sincere.  I was just stating with illustration and I felt it does relate to the thread as its cutting pipe.

I think when you have to make just as precise of cuts out of square as on square, it can be just as or more difficult.  Hand miter boxes don't have all the angles or combination ones.  Usually only 90, 45, and 22.5°.

Sorry if I offended you or the OP as that was not my intent.

I have one of those mini belt sander benches with an adjustable table top.  That's a good idea Overmod.  Maybe I'll try that next time instead of free hand.  I think it might be easier.

I would be happy to erase my post if the OP thinks that would be appropriate.

TF, I wasn't criticizing.  If someone is interested in cuts that are not square, they might not search this topic or be directed to it by search.  Since you have a documented example where pipe ends had to be adjusted to 'look right' you can start a new post illustrating this... complete with solved example.

Oh,  That's what you were saying.  I guess I misunderstood.  I don't post threads very often.  I just had one going and it took a nose diveLaugh

 

Thanks Overmod
