In this video I bring you along the process I use to make an under car muffler stand, 3rd arm, helping hand or whatever you want to call it. I just build mine out of a couple pieces of exhaust tubing. If you have a car lift or work in a shop these things are a must have. I use to just buy them and use them but I can't seem to find them anymore. The heavy duty ones are nice but I often just need a light duty one like this. Any how, don't do this at home and definitely use at your own risk. It will likely kill you.
-Enjoy!

Here is a link for the program I used [ Ссылка ] If this link is broke here is a spot on the web I found it too [ Ссылка ] tube mitering program for Windows to print on any printer. This program deals in metric units.

File/Settings… puts up a dialog box. You input:

Diameter (in mm) of tube being mitered
The wall thickness of this tube
The second tube diameter (the one it abuts up to)
The included angle in degrees.
It paints the picture on the window, and File/Print… prints it on any connected printer.

There are two curves – the dotted one is the template you would cut if the wall thickness were zero and the solid curve is the template corresponding to the requested wall thickness.

If the mitered tube diameter is greater than the second diameter, then the second tube passes through two holes in the mitered tube. This situation is handled by continuing the template on the other side. Small gaps may appear in the curves; this is a known “feature” of the way the program works
