Can some one help me with joining two steel pipes in a tee shape, I need to make a stencil to cut the center pipe to the right shape, and I cant find my book anywhere.
the pipe sizes vary, could be 2.5" to 5", but i'm assuming the formula will be the same..
Many thanks

There are two free computer programs that will give you a printed template of the "fishmouth" shape you need to cut on the end of the pipe.
Winmiter is available at:
Both let you spec' the two tubes' diameters and the intersect angle. Winmiter assumes a thin tube wall, while Tubemiter lets you specify the wall thickness. This is important on pipe. Winmiter allows you to spec' an offset from the tubes' centerlines, Tubemiter does not. Tubemiter is only in mm, while Winmiter lets you select in. or mm.
I've used them to make patio umbrells stands. Even a double fishmouth where the vertical tube (2" EMT) meets the center of the "X" base (2"EMT).
