Cutting PVC pipe to length on a miter saw

Plumbing

Cut Lists

Pipe rolls, so marking it and holding it on the mark are two jobs competing for the same hand, and the cut wanders. Setting the length on the M1 Caliber's stop means the pipe only has to be pushed against something solid and cut. Every piece in a run of hangers or drops comes out identical without a single mark on the pipe.

Why marking pipe is the problem

Pipe rolls away from a pencil mark
Length set on the M1 stop, not the pipe
Push to the stop and cut
Every piece in the run matches
Nothing to mark or re-find

Pipe rolls, which makes marking it and holding it on the mark two jobs at once. Setting the length on the saw stop instead means the pipe only has to be pushed against something solid and cut. Every piece in the run comes out the same length without a single mark on the pipe.
