Cutting Conduit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Possible way to cut conduit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hacksaw by hand
Metal Chop Saw
Metal Bandsaw (handheld)
Metal Bandsaw (stationary)
Angle Grinder with Cut off Wheel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For accuracy, Metal Chop Saw and Metal Bandsaw (stationary) will have the best accuracy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accuracy with the other 3 devices will be dependent on the user\u2019s skill level<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key point of cutting the conduit is to get it cut<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose the Metal Chop Saw because I could clamp the conduit in the guide and cut accurately
I also cut a few pieces with a Metal Bandsaw (handheld) for comparison<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut list for MPCNC, 400x400x400 Build Plate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Rails X  = Usable Width +264mm (10.4in)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Rails Y  = Usable Depth +264mm (10.4in)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Z Rails = Usable Height + 190mm (7.5in)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Legs = Usable Height \u2013 13mm (.5in)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Lead Screw (T8) or Allthread = Usable Height + 76mm (3in)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Table will be 6.5mm (.25in) longer in each axis direction. (30in X rail will need a 30.25in table in the X direction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
