If an object does run parallel to the base surface but not quite to the y-axis, and you therefore create a work plane perpendicular to the centerline and then create a bounding box, then the bounding box becomes skewed. I noticed that when I wanted to trim something with a makeshift template and it failed with this pipe.

Hi MP,

It looks like you did a cutout of the pipe and the cutout was not perpendicular to the pipe.
Look at the 2 red stripes in my image.
If I draw a construction line below it is parallel with the line above so it looks like that the cutout was not perpendicular with the pipe..?
And when did you draw the bounding box, before or after you created the work plane?

No. Here is the file. I exported it to version 9 so that you can open it with older versions.

Hi MP,

Got your point.
I did draw your pipe (o.5 degree out of Y axis) with box without this problem.
I think I know what is the problem:
At the moment you like to draw a box perpendicular to the pipe use the workplane as you did.
Than select the menu View - View The Plane and then draw the box.

No problem in my case.

Regard, Theo

By the way, how about an intelligent bounding box that is automatically perpendicular to the pipe? Setting the workplane is too much work, and changing the view—I have bound a button for this.
