1000@ of parts to make from 5/8' SS tube, to be mitered in a cold saw. Parts need to be mitered at both ends at repeatable, accurate lengths for fabrication. (ANALOGY: making a flat, square frame from round bar.)
I need to index the bar (20' raw lengths will be cut down to final parts @ an appx range of 4" - 24" with multiples of each interim length) so that the resulting miters at opposite ends of each part will be plumb/square relative to each other. I'd like to cut rough lengths then set a stop to cut final lengths with a visual reference for rotational position.
Marking & cutting to be done by hand. Ideally, minimal finishing to be performed on the completed assemblies (i.e. no scribing)
What's an efficient way to accomplish this?
(I tried to post this earlier and don't see it anywhere. Apologies for duplicates)
