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. 4ABDB74A-6E05-48FE-9482-6B5D646A112C.thumb.jpeg.b3aa931ad0608225365cf2ab2a4942fa.jpeg

What a great idea

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..........................

I'm eyeing up our colander. Stick some coarse sandpaper  inside it.....  could  work a treat.

Think she'll miss it ?

I wonder if you could incorporate a couple of Stanley blades into a precise "chamferer"...

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 ...

Resist, I couldn't....

 

A 114mm Starrett:

Gives me a 100mm marine ply disc (18mm):

Find something to make a shaft with:

11/16" flat bit to recess the ply, nyloc pressed in:

Beer o'clock!

 

Phase 2 to secure the disc in place with some peripheral screws and mount the blades!

That giant bottle of Kingfisher has kicked in! :)

 

Thinking a 20chamfer, 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...
