I am trying to put two cylinders together, but the red over laps onto
the gray(90) and vice-verca. How do I crop the over lapping parts with
out leaving a big hole in the finished item? BTW the gray that sticks
out the back of the red doesn't matter.

The direct way is to duplicate both objects, then use one red to cut the
gray and one gray to cut the red
union{
difference
object { Red1 }
object { Grey1 }
}
difference
object { Grey2 }
object { Red2 }
}
} // end union

thank you einstine for the big image i REALLY liked downloading a 1024x768
image to see a tinny little foul up. was it so hard to use an image editor and
crop it?!

Please! It was 31 kb! A tiny image no matter what the pixel count. Not
the smartest of whines, plus you misspelled Einstein.

Stop whining and start tracing :P
It took all of 6 seconds to download here, 31 KB isn't big.

The simplest thing would be intersections with a plane at the
appropriate angle.

A rotated box might be faster, just make sure it is big enough.

I've been playing with this and it is not as simple a problem as I thought.
In cases where the proper cylinders are chosen my solution (when corrected)
works, but with some other cylinders it does not, as you found out I am
sure.
Intersections of planes should work, but you would have to work out the math
for each union and my math is not up to that. I am sure one of the vector
functions will do it, but someone else will have to answer that question.

Here is one possible way to do it:
camera {location < 0, 0, -2 >look_at 0}
light_source{<0,0,-10>rgb 1}
#declare Cy1 = cylinder{ x*-1,x*0,.25 pigment{red 1}}
#declare Cy2 = cylinder{ x* 0,x*1,.25 pigment{blue 1}}
intersection {
object {Cy1}
plane { x,-.125 translate y*-.25 rotate 22.5*z pigment {red 1}}
rotate 22.5*-z translate<.125,0,0>
}
intersection {
object {Cy2}
plane { x,.125 translate y*-.25 inverse rotate 22.5*-z pigment {blue 1}}
rotate 22.5*z translate x*-.125
}

Oooh, you stinker. my friend and I are trying the same thing after
trying boxes and the difference of the two cylinders.

The proper way to do this is to intersect (or difference) each cylinder with a
plane (or box) in which the face of the plane or box bisects the angle formed
by the cylinders.
Hope that explain it well enough. :-)

A plane should be faster provided that you use manual
bounding on the resulting object...
