Tube angle paper pattern maker
Russell - 19/10/09 at 06:30 PM

Apologies if this has been posted before but I found a natty little free program here:

http://www.ytcn.nl/archief/index.php?dir=Software/cone_calculator_1.3/

It allows you to print accurate paper templates to cut out and wrap round tubes for cutting at the correct angle (for those of us without accurate chop saws). It's different to the tube mitre program because the tube ends it produces are a flat plane. I'm tinkering with it to produce a series of short tubes to join up to make a bike carb manifold. You can even preview the results in moveable 3D.

Edit to say.. I've been browsing the rest of the site and if you're into older Yamaha bikes (RDs in particular) you really should go there. I just got a exploded view of my Fazer Mikuni carbs.
