In Response To: Other: PVC Pipe Clamp Cutting - what kind of saw? (Patsy)

Hi Patsy. I used a cheap jigsaw I picked up for about $35 at HD. I like the metal cutting blades mentioned previously. It's good for cutting plywood too. The PVC will tend to melt, giving off stinky toxic smoke. I once sawed a 12' PVC pipe lengthwise for soaking strips. I got to the end of the cut and found the melted PVC had fused back together :b
