Russell griffiths Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Morning I’ve been using this tool to put the taper back on the ends of any cut drainage pipe, works a treat. Little bit costly but has been used in anger all week and paid for itself already. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone West Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 A lot quicker than doing it by hand using a rasp which is how I did all mine. Wish I'd known they existed a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Never seen these before. Does it do 160mm as well as 110mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 I believe they make a 160 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I do mine with the cordless angle grinder,. That's a prettier result though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Yes I used an angle grinder with a flap wheel but that’s a lot neater, what’s the cost and where did you source it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vijay Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I wish I'd bought one before I started doing my pipework - found it a horrible job with a rasp. No point now as I've only got the rainwater pipes to do (although there's quite a bit). The guys doing the access drive used their petrol cutter, left it on the floor and turned the pipe against the blade - not the safest move I guess and stupid not to have a proper tool for the job when you do it all the time.......................... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I think you could probably make one in a couple of hours. I was a bit underwhelmed with the design but it works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I wonder if you could incorporate a couple of Stanley blades into a precise "chamferer"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats how the cheap Chinese ones work - two Stanley blades in a pudding basin and a mandrel stuck on. They seem to have holes in the back to break your fingers too ...

Onoff Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Resist, I couldn't.... A 114mm Starrett: Gives me a 100mm marine ply disc (18mm): An old soil coupler with one perished seal: Seals removed: Disc fits nice: Find something to make a shaft with: 11/16" flat bit to recess the ply, nyloc pressed in: Bolt head zinged off: Beer o'clock! Phase 2 to secure the disc in place with some peripheral screws and mount the blades! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 That giant bottle of Kingfisher has kicked in! Thinking a 20o chamfer, 10mm long? The rectangle's the ply disc, the two red lines the 110mm mm soil pipe... Can't help thinking a Stanley blade(s) is maybe the WRONG thing to use...

Triassic Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I’m trying to build my house using the minimum number of tools. I used an old wood saw to cut the pipe and a Stanley knife to chamfer the pipe (hold it at 90 degrees to the pipe and pull the knife towards you).
