Hey guys! When cutting pvc pipe must the cut always be square relative to the angle of the pipe or relative to what you want the rest of the pipe to be parallel to?
Example: a piece of pipe is coming out through a joist at an angle but I want to straighten the pipe so it's parallel to the ceiling under it. When I cut the pipe (2" pvc) to add a coupling, how should I cut it?
I've been told to always cut it square relative to the pipe itself. Indeed, I tried cutting it square to the floor so I could get the rest of it straight and all it did was just catch on the longest lip.
Thanks!
