My Pipe Coper

admin

Built this for my rail shop.Copied the Mittler Bros. layout - cuts dead center - turned out to be way more accurate than I need for building handrail.One problem: the adjustment screws on the crossfeed ways back out when in use. Since they are supposed to be adjustable, is there a better solution to this problem than just using Locktite? Attached Images
