Miter Box for Insulation

Miter box for cutting bends and T-pieces
 

Miter box made of red plastic. Perfect for cutting bends and T-pieces from pipe insulation.
A complete insulation of the heating and plumbing system ensures maximum energy savings and saves a lot of money. This includes not only pipelines,
but of course also bends, T-pieces and various shut-off valves. With this miter box, you have the perfect tool at hand to cut bends and T-pieces simply,
quickly and professionally. 
First insulate the bends or T-pieces and then the straight pipes in between.
In this way, the insulation is done quickly and professionally.
 

• Extremely versatile and flexible
• Easy and quick application
• Ideal for cutting bends and T-pieces
• 3 cutting options for pipe insulation  (30°, 45°, and 90°)
• Easy plug-in system, quick assembly
• Perfect accessory for professional insulation
• The following cutting instructions are included
  
   

Easy assembly:

Insert the two side panels with the identical angle markings into the base plate.
Depending on the diameter of the insulation to be cut, use the appropriate plug-in option.
By rotating both side panels, an additional cutting option is created (30°/45° or 90°).

Calculation of cuts:

Measure the chord length A on the pipe to be insulated.
Read or determine the insulation thickness B.
The web width C in mm and the number of notches result according to the table (1x90°, 2x 45° or 3x30° for a 90° bend)

Notching the insulation:

Place the insulation in the miter box, with the open or slotted side of the tube facing the user.
Make the first notch at the marked spot, then measure the calculated web width (e.g. 21mm) and make the second notch.

Insulation of T-branches:

Notch at the spot where the pipe branches off at a 90° angle to the middle of the insulation.
Then cut the insulation for the branch on both sides at a 90° angle.
Alternatively:
Punch out the spot where the pipe branches off with a pipe or hole punch and cut the insulation for the branch semicircularly.
