Help Your Shop Cope with Complex Pipe Copings [VIDEO]

Generally termed coping is a process by which one part with an irregular surface is fitted to another. The most common examples we see are with interior molding or on pipe.
One flavor of design in which coping is rather prevalent is handrail design, if the connection is complex at the joints, advanced coping is done at the ends to ensure that we have a relatively smooth transition from one pipe segment to the next.
Take a look at the following video as I run through the method I use to produce a 1:1 scale print-out that can be then cut out with scissors and wrapped around the end of the pipe. Once fitted the path of the cut can be traced with chalk or a paint pen, and the complex coping then cut to fit.
