If Cut Tube Wall Thick is larger than 0, the cut fits to the inside diameter of the tube, making a notch for welding.
For a snug fit at the outside of the tube, enter 0 Cut Tube Wall Thick and grind inside of tube to fit.
Parent Tube Diameter
Cut Tube Diameter must be equal or smaller than Parent Tube

If larger than 0, the cut fits inside diameter of tube

Print Tube Coping template at 100% printer scale, cut and wrap around cut tube to trace with marker pen for cutting and grinding to shape.
For larger pipes, where a single printed page (template) is too small to wrap completely around the pipe, select 'Plot Point Increments' and click the checkbox
to display notch line offset measurements at each increment around the pipes circumference, from centre line outwards.
Then measure and mark the notch on the cut pipe.
There are 2 identical sets of notch offset measurements, starting with the longest centre measurement, and going to the outer sides of the template.
One half side of running offset measurements, with their corresponding increment from the centre line are displayed under the main coping template diagram.
Because the 2 sides of the template are exact opposites, if you can fit half of a large template completely on a page, you can mark half (180°) of the pipe, then reverse (flip)
the half template to mark the other side.
To print the template image as close to page top left as possible (best fit for large diagram), hit
Diagrams to PDF (also below) to open a new window with just the diagrams.
Left click diagrams on the new page to remove all but the main pipe coping template, then print.
Select angle increments and hit 'Full Set' button to draw a set of templates at each selected angle increment for current pipe diameter and wall thickness entries.
Use your browsers 'Print Preview' to check templates are printed complete on each page, and are not cropped on page breaks. (IE 11 will separate diagrams on page breaks).

If the template is too big to fit your printer paper size, and there's no function for 'Half Template', try this:
Many templates are symmetrical, with 2 identical (mirrored) sides.
After clicking the 'Diagrams to PDF' button, choose a PDF page size that fits your printer (Letter or A4) and uncheck 'Center'.
This will crop the right side of the template image in the PDF.
Print 2 copies, trim and tape together to form full template.

If you're cutting blocks, concrete, stone or ANYTHING and there's DUST - DON'T TAKE THE RISK
Don't cut it, or cut it wet so there's NO DUST - Silicosis Sucks
And if you're cutting wet, wear a mask - there's dust in the spray mist too!

What do we think? - They're 2 different things:
A Meter is a device to measure things - like a Volt Meter or a Parking Meter
A Metre is about 3'-3~3/8"
Although diameter and perimeter as measurements - don't seem to fit very well
If the U.S. ever goes Metric, you'll be able to use a Meter to measure Meters - A Meter Meter
(And when we go back to the moon to Mars, let's go Metric, ay?)
Many of our calculators can be used for multiple purposes.
