Hello dear brothers, I have a construction problem that I suffer from, except it is the problem of cutting off the angle. I have a cut off saw. Its ability to cut is 45 degrees maximum, and I have a guide for the sevenesque Roadster, and as you know that all angles in this guide are from 50 degrees and above, so what is the solution please This is my user name on Telegram (IQAFM). I hope someone who is an expert in this matter can contact me to solve this problem. Thank you

There are many different metal cutting and grinding tools required. I prefer the hand held bandsaw but sometimes a 3 inch cutting disc in an electric die grinder is required. An angle grinder or large hand file is required too since the cuts often require slight trimming that cannot be done with a saw.

I'll second everything MV8 said and add..

Sawzall works pretty well for general cutting.
Stationary belt/disc sanders are helpful to clean up rough cuts & general shaping throughout the build.

I wore out a couple of Harbor freight angle grinders during my build. I recommend 0.040 cutoff disks. Yes, they are more fragile, but they cut faster than the 1/16" disks. A good quality disk is a must. Cheap ones last only a few cuts.

The center lines of the tubes don't all actually have to intersect for it to act 'close enough' to a node. Minor offsets act in shear rather than bending on the tube that it's offset against. Offset the tube the correct direction and you'll rarely need to cut a steeper angle than 45*. The right amount of offset really opens up the weld joint access for (primarily self-taught) amateur welders, especially on square tubing, resulting (IMHO) in a considerably greater likelihood of better weld penetration and strength. I have heard of multiple tube frame cars that have had catastrophic failures from broken welds, including some resulting in significant injury, but none from merely less-than-ideal load paths. And if it bothers you the way it does me, just add gussets and/or structurally integrated paneling that will more than make up for it anyway.

On typical miter cutters (including chop saws) that only cut 45 degrees you can cut all angles up to 90 degrees.. When you cut 45 degrees the opposite side is 45 degrees. when you need a 60 degree cut, you cut 30 and the opposite side is sixty.if you need 75 you cut 15. The cuts always add up to 90. You just do your length measurements on the angle side you need. It is very common to think you have to measure everything from the left side of the cutter, but the right side is just as accurate. You may have to make a support to keep the materiel you are cutting level as most of the miter cutters only have support on the left side.
