Thanks! That's a very cool jig. I have built mine some months ago which is a bit different. I have used dremel with grinder discs since it is less noisy and have narrower disk (grinds less material). Also there are less sparks. But it cannot cut thick material which is fine for me at the moment! Thanks again and Keep the good job up!

Colin, another useful tool that meets my requirements of cheap, easy, and efficient. I had the hinges left over from a table saw clamp project you once demonstrated.. The pipe clamps I always for attaching two ungainly pieces together. I put my first qmockup together in30 minutes then added fence and spacing jig to keep pieces in aliment. I had about a dozen pieces of steel rod and bar stock to cut. Even my best freehand cutting will have small errors. When I finished ny cutting everything was the same length and square. Thanks for this great tip.

You can take this to the next level with an adjustable fence and improved rod clamping method. I do love this though and the hinges are genius! For large pipe or rods, trying the cut off wheel becomes an issue. Using the screw holes for the handle comes to mind. I think I'm going to run with this simple build

I use my Lil' Grinder for cutting thing's like that too. I do put on a couple Nut's on the Rod's IF that is what I'm cutting into....because then you can take off the nut's at the place you just cut. And, it will chase the threads for you and makes it Very Simple to put on another nut or fitting on the rod.....THAT'S MY ONE & ONLY TIP😉

Great addition to the workshop. Genius to use the spring hinges. I have a metal shop bought jig, which has an 'Old' Makita permanently attached, that pre dates the dead man switch, which means I can turn it on with out having to hold the on switch. I'm sure quite a few people will be making this in the near future.

That is a nifty idea to make a mini cutoff. An alternative is to use a Stanley 84-205 bolt cutter. Unfortunately they don't make them anymore but there always seems to be one available on ebay but they are a bit pricey. They are excellent for this purpose, very clean cuts in non-hardened bolts. I made something similar to this jig to hold a Harbor Freight portable metal cutting band saw. But I still ended up getting the Stanley to use on bolts because it is so much more convenient.

I really should make one of these. You've got a much easier design than Mistry Make Tool, who does have some pretty ingenious ideas, but this still looks much easier to build and adjust. Right now, I use a 12" abrasive disc on my miter saw. It works, but it's a little much for smaller things like threaded rods or bolts, both of which need their own jigs anyway. Not to mention the trouble of changing blades, which is actually not as trivial as you might think.
