[ATM] Cutting large-diameter PVC
I have acquired, for free, two lengths of 10" PVC
pipe. One look at them and free may have been too
high a price, but there is enough pipe to make the
tube for my 8" Newtonian, as long as I tie the tubes
together. That part has been figured out. However -
(don't ya love this part of the emails?)
The tubes themselves have badly out-of-square ends.
While I have experience cutting large diameter stuff,
I do not have access to much more than a circular saw,
which does a wonderfully fast job at cutting PVC with
a nice, sharp fine-tooth blade. While not a smooth
finish, it is fast and clean enough to rasp away.
Is there an easy way to cut this stuff square, so I
don't spend a whole day rasping away at it to get it
to within the 1mm squareness that's good enough for a
telescope? Remember now, a circular saw is what I'm
going to use. I'm too lazy to go at it with some sort
of hand saw.
Many thanks,
Transplanted Yankee, Seeker of the Darkness
