so i need to cut a section out of a hollow prop shaft and a pair of hollow driveshafts, i know i could get someone else to do it but theres no fun in that.
Ill need to cut the section out ensuring its cut good and square then it can be sleeved inside / puddle welded (after drilling equally spaced holes) then weld up the two pieces that have been cut. Ive seen other people do it this way and they have no issues and also dont need to have the parts rebalanced (prop especially) assuming they are rewelded the same way (i.e. not twisted round)
so ill need to buy a chop saw for metal (which i can do without really) or....
I have a wood compound mitre saw that uses a 255mm / 10" blade, no i know i can swap the blades over but and heres the thing - my wood blade has a 16mm centre bore everything i see has a 30mm centre bore.
A place I've seen online sell an adapter that means i can run a 30mm blade on a 16mm spindle - basically its a bloody washer that needs pressing in the centre of the blade.
Does that sound ok or should i bite the bullet and buy a new saw for metal work - it will be useful when it comes to fabricating an exhaust too i guess.
any advice?
