Thread: Need advice - Method to cut 3/8" copper couplers?

The couplers in your pictures have a built in rolled stop and would need to shortened from each end. Are they yours or are yours somehow different?

I dont understand why you have to use a "die set" if these are to be soldered ?

Me either shed. I’m starting to think this guy is taking the mickey

Yes, the copper couplers are designed to be soldered in conventional use, but in my application they are not. In mine, they become part of/attached to a larger assembly.

Maybe it will be simpler to modify the tool or make a suitable tool to do the job than shortening all those parts.
Can you post pics of the tool and show how it operates on the part?

Cheers, shed

I think your point is valid. I've contacted my supplier and reordered. Thanks to all for the input.
