How To Reduce Pipe Diameter Size

[@zepm7184]

Great video. If you don't want to do all the measuring you can also take a strip of paper, wrap it around the bearing and cut it to length at one revolution. Then put the strip of paper in the pipe as you measuring gauge.

You’re a life saver

Seems like masking tape would be ideal for this use. Your technique of direct transferring the distance seems like it would be more precise than measuring, too.... Thanks for the great tip, Zep M!

[@davidengelbrecht8457]

Great method for transferring dimensions from the inside of a piece of pipe to outside a piece of pipe also if wanting to make a slip fitting between pipe pieces.

Thankyou so much for sharing this , it got me out of an "exhausting situation.

[@rogerdodger5415]

Exactly what I needed! Thank you my Brother! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 ✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@DIYVariety]

That worked out pretty good bud

[@ChrisSmith-tw1mo]

Great sleeve alternative!

[@tims6212]

That's exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@provenancemachining]

This is really great if you can't or don't want to sleeve the larger pipe down to a smaller diameter using a thicker wall. 👌

I've searched the internet for months and found nothing about this, of course till I searched KZbin directly just now. I did this with a piece of copper tubing to see if the idea I had was even feasible. Turns out it was, but copper tubing is alot easier to bend than mild steel tubing. I'm currently planning to shrink the diameter of the primary tubes on a set of old exhaust headers I have because the diameter I need is not sold in a complete fabricated set. Any tips on bending tubing like this would be awesome if you have any extra to share. Awesome video man! Proves I'm not completely insane after all lol

[@assassinlexx1993]

This is just the video I need for this project . 👍👍👍👍💯🙂

[@patrickbennett5673]

Fantastic video. Thanks for a great practical demonstration and some new knowledge.

[@damianamejeiras8858]

The best part it’s of the video it’s a the north American using metrication lol ,!!!!

[@assassinlexx1993]

I work in banana measurements.

[@judsonl8990]

That's clever man. Nicely done.

[@khanhphaminh1175]

thanks a lot for this solution. It helps me a lot.

[@sunilsenevirathne4245]

Thank you sir for your explanation and the video l appreciate so much

[@Excalibur32]

Is there a hand tool that can shrink the diameter of pipes? For example a hydraulic one?

[@jonathanchark5291]

Yes, there are pipe swaging machines, but they're kinda expensive.

[@gabrielsaldana1969]

Not all heros wear capes 👏

[@jasonstraurss6974]

awesome video, helped me a lot!

[@izryiel7094]

Was there any tension on the pipe when you made the vertical cuts?

[@lostalchemist3180]

No, none

[@kidharris]

cool trick, but I can usually find a bushing to fit

[@gopalshrestha1447]

Great video Thank you sir

[@jamesross7574]

amazing video, super helpful

[@johnywesco4143]

Can I use the same benchwise method for stainless steel pipe?? (I mean to convert it into oval shape)

[@jonathanchark5291]

Yes.

I loved your safety shoes. Where can I purchase? 1:55

Ty great vid

[@isqandarzulkarnain7849]

Awesome.. thank you so much..

[@mikedibenardo8856]

Awesome thank you

[@mwicken92]

Can you make a video of buying the proper size pipe at home depot or some place similar? Because some of us dont have vice clamps.

[@lostalchemist3180]

If you can't figure out how to make your own vice then you can use 2 heavy boulders in a pinch and drop them on the pipe to bend it in a mad max situation

[@NATUREPRABA]

How to increase the pipe thickness? Please explain with demo

[@jasongreene303]

You can use a pipe expander with an impact gun. Also, using the same math, figure out the new diameter and weld in a piece that you cut out of another section of pipe.

[@NATUREPRABA]

@@jasongreene303 then

[@brianstarr6290]

Great video thanks!

[@mtbprogression7678]

yup. i got an idea now. thank you

[@syedaltaf6701]

Awesome 👏 👍

[@mkmikeyspickey]

Thank you sir

[@teaglet]

You did show how you cut it

[@yanisgerber9850]

very useful if you have a short pipe...

[@butkatrello]

I like how you use pi 3.14

[@ElohiSilverEarthVentures]

Well I suppose this certainly would work if my vise hadn't snapped in half

[@lostalchemist3180]

sorry to hear about your vise, hope you get a new one

[@joeynelbongabong3762]

Oh yesss! Tnx

[@GeannXD]

But what you showed wasn't 15,7mm it was 19mm gap.

[@lostalchemist3180]

you should have seen it from my angle :)

[@GeannXD]

@@lostalchemist3180 I was thinking that, anyway that worked beautifully on my project, thanks for sharing the trick.

Sigarette ends everywhere .... 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@jasongreene303]

He didn't want to crush his finger?? This video sucked. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though, nice work for a good DIY project.
