When cutting the 3 1/2" bends for the slash cut outlets I put the band saw through the bend about 15mm out from the wall of the pipe. To me this gives the most pleasing looking tip.
I'll try to attach a pic of what I mean.

Thanks for the slash cut advice Mike, I was thinking of something like that but really I was only guessing.
I don't know about "building pipes is fun"..... I did a lot of swearing making those bloody things. To be honest, I spent about $1000 on them, that's including cats, bends, pipe and $200 to TIG them up, (I just tacked them together because my welding is quite poor). I think if I had my time again I would just pay you to do them!!!
