Cutting PVC Pipe with Miter saw

Posted by bdeditch on January 8, 2007, 5:02 pm

I need to cut about 200 pcs of 2" PVC pipe. I want to use my miter saw.
Whats the best type of blade for this?

A very find tooth blade ... think hacksaw-like.

Any good carbide tip will give a good clean cut. A fine tooth
will burn it somewhat cutting through and you will have a ragged
cut.

Too coarse and you will have a chipped edge which is really ragged!

Its the number of teeth per inch on the blade that gives the smoothest cut.
That's why that metric is imprinted on the blade and that's why the advice
to think like a hack saw was smart advice and the fallacy claiming any
carbide tip was dumb.

Any blade equivalent to a finish plywood blade will suffice for cutting PVC
or most any other non-mettalic tubular material.
