Hi metalboys, ask ko lang how to do you cut small stainless tubes using only hacksaw.
I bought today 1/2" stainless tube to used as sleeves..i need 6 pcs 1/2 inches long lang pero nung pinuputol ko na using may hacksaw...anaknamp...ayaw tumuloy tuloy ng lagari..bago naman yung hacksaw blade ko..kumakagat...pero pag paatras ang pagputol medyo may improvement pero pag patulak ayaw...haaay 10 minutes na di pa putol..kung kahoy lang to yare ka na kanina pa. At eto nung malapit na maputol..binale ko na lang. Nung makaisa umayaw nako.
Do you have technique guys for cutting small tubes? Thanks.

Armand,
You can use a tube cutter or angle grinder with inox cutting disc

Re: Cutting small tubes
Thanks bryant77..but what i have at the moment is hacksaw only...very rare lang din kasi ako mag metal but probably will invest on this tool in the near future. Thanks.

Bro Armand,
Go to Wilcon Depot, just in front of SM Masinag and get yourself a 4" angle grinder, Black&Decker
or DeWalt then fit it with a DeWalt thin cutting disc for stainless steel, solve na problem mo.
Don't worry about other uses of the angle grinder, pwede rin yan sa woodworking, so hindi rin masasayang !! 😀
Hope this helps !! 😉

Re: Cutting small tubes
Thanks bro Rosy and bryant..looks like a hacksaw is not the appropriate tool for this very simple task and getting a disc grinder is the only option to cut the tubes.
Im not giving up though...will try to innovate something.:D:D
armand, is that thin-wall stainless? try using 24tpi hacksaw blade. you may also try lubricant. i always have some kerosene in a spray/squirt bottle handy...
or perhaps a higher quality blade?
an angle grinder is one of the most useful tools to have around the house. mine is just a cheapo KCT or eagle i'm not sure. you can use a diamond wheel with it to cut/grind concrete. cut/grind steel. tons of uses
jus be careful w/ thin cutting discs. quite dangerous when they shatter
