Got me one of those fancy tube notchers from the states , its a pro tools item running in 2" ball bearings adjustable for offset notching and variable angles , are they worth it ?, bit like the saying ,once u had black u never go back , or as i prefer once u had white u never as tight! you betcher! perfect fit every time ! just make sure you have a decent quality hole saw and dont drill too fast, n away you go .

 Tube Notcher  Tube Notcher looked at lots of em , before i got this one , the jd2 one is pretty good to , but i think this has the edge, as i said 2" ball bearings wiv a 1" steel shaft , it just sits in yer vice simple as that n nothing moves! quality stuff |

Looks like a great tool does that!!...............just a thought,has any one tried using a hole cutter in a pillar drill? to do this job? its an idea i wanted to try but aint had a chance yet.
Looking at these pictures, if you took it out of the vice and put it up right youd av a pillar drill? i just wonder if doin it with a pillar drill it might be prone to jamming.
Just a thought but a lovely tool !!

PD & Loony used a pillar drill when cutting frame tubes for PD's little brother's bike. I think it worked O.K Personally I find it much quicker to grind them to shape with an angle grinder, but then, I always take the awkward option on any job.  |

Another way to notch tube is to put a milling cutter in the chuck of a lathe,and clamp the tube to the tool holder. If you have a lathe of course! and also depends how big the tool holder is to clamp larger diams in . I like to grind them out myself.
