how do you guys remove the flash that builds up when using a chop saw from the inside of pipe?
is it my shit ass harbor freight blades?

the only thing i can do now is use my dremel and the little sander drums but that takes forever.(for the inside obviously, outsides i use a bench grinder)
this is what it does

Get rid of the HF blades!! One of those bastards broke in half when I was trying to cut exhaust. I bought a blade for my HF saw from sears and it cut 10x better. Still had some of that shit on the pipe though, I just use an angle grinder or a file to get it off.

Outside gets the belt sander, inside gets the die grinder.

I use a belt sander and fsurface the tube to it's flat/square and then use a deburing tool on the inside. 4" flap disk on the outside. takes 2 sec.

tin snips/side cutting pliers

My latest technique is just using the dry cut saw instead of the chop saw.

Substitute said chop saw AKA hot saw for a bandsaw or a cold saw.

Die grinder on the inside and 4" high speed air sander equipped with a flapwheel on the outside.

If you have a decent file thats not all beat to shit, and put a little man behind it that flashing is gone in seconds. You dont actually file all of the flashing down, just hit the edge of the pipe at an angle and it cuts the flashing right off.

If it's super-thick from say sch40 pipe, I use a pliers to get most of it off. Then I go at it with a bench grinder.

buy a band saw! world of a difference!

i found myself using a butter knife that i flattend out the entire blade on the bench grinder.. to make it more ridged.. kinda like a nigger rigged deburring tool.. works great at getting the annoying stuff out quickly.. if there are stubborn parts i whoop out the rounded filers.. but ever since i switched to a band saw i havent had to do that shit since

I use a die grider too, it would have to be one of my most used tools
