No bandsaw. I just measured some points out on the heel of both elbows and connected the dots and went to town with a cutoff wheel on my grinder. I then just cleaned the cuts up with a sanding disk and made sure it sit flat on my bench. They actually fit together really well and I purge welded them so they didn’t sugar the inside.
