Tube cutting software

I found this on a site about making car chassis. It calculates and produces a pattern for cutting pipes intersecting at angles and offsets. I thought some one here might have a use for it scratching something.

Nifty! It will even spit out G-code for you.

So, I can ask you how to apply this knowledge when I get around to scratching the accessways on an Eagle?

Sure, but I don't know how much good it'll do. G-code is the laguage CNC machines operate by. For the small tubing on an Eagle's cage there are much simpler ways to go about intersecting tubes at various angles.

I was thinking more of pciking your brain. Sounds like you'd be up to it!

Heh heh, sure thing. That's funny, I want to pick your brain on how to make my B-52 look better.

Neat Calculator. I am giving a shot.

Got a Evergreen hollow tube PartNo:230 to cut.

I need to have one tube joining the other at 90 degrees or at a T-junction.

I plugged in these numbers.

The cutting pattern came out looking somewhat disproportionate.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
