Frame builders: Anyone have tubemiter.exe application?

Hey, I've been scouring the sodding internet all day trying to find a copy of this tiny app.

It basically gives you a printable template for tube mitering and could save me a lot
of time with fillet brazing.

search for tubemiter.zip and you'll find it straightaway

The app isn't going to mitre the tubes for you.
A, fairly, basic drawing will tell you where to cut.
Or you could use Autocad, if you want.
Or you could write the "tiny" app for yourself

Yeh but it will, however, make the entire operation a lot more precision and quick.

I'm not a developer, unfortunately. Need to get on that...

Dugtheslug: mate, I owe you one. Thanks buddy.

Fruitbat - I found tube-mitre extremely useful, as you can print out highly accurate cutting templates, showing both inside and outside lines. When you want your tubes to be exactly the lengths you want them, just keeping filing 'till the mitre is perfect can give under length tubes. I can only assume from your comments that you either have never tried producing multiple mitres at fixed lengths good enough to fillet braze, or you do it so often it has become second nature. I am also guessing you are probably not a software developer. Writing something like tube-mitre and getting it to print almost mm perfect aint easy.

Tube mitre can be downloaded from here:

Busted... but I can do the maths and the drawing.
I haven't seen tube-mitre, how does it show the inside and outside lines?
I'll download and have a look. I realise that I was being slightly cough facetious in my earlier post

ive tried downloading this but doesnt seem to work on my computer. guessing its not mac compatable.

any ideas?

An .exe file is a Windows program so use a PC, unless you have Bootcamp, Parallels or VMWare and Windows installed on your Mac.

Here is an online version of Tubemiter/CopingCalculator:

Hope that helps. :)

Also a Mac Version of a Tubemiter/CopingCalculator App exists:

Even comes with sourcecode. :)
