I have a cheap 16" drill press.
I bought a metal hole saw, jigged up a piece of tubing and attmpted to notch the end. The hole saw would just catch the tubing and bind. It appears the table isn't stable enough as it will move slightly. I looked at a tubing notcher. But the one I saw jigs up to a drill press and I can forsee the same issues. I can plasma cut and grind, but damn that is labor intensive. How about sanding rolls? rock cylinders? What is out there? |

Heya, We bought a tubing notcher at Harbor frieght and had no problems with our cage. Don't chince on the hole saw blades cause it makes a difference. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Cheap blades only works good for one tube.
