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?

Alright Cal ... sounds encouraging ...

I never got to 300 rpm ... I dropped it to 360, though.

I'm also gonna look at ways to further anchor the work table.
I used a ball peen hammer to tighten it down ...

And I was using ever so little force to drive the holesaw through.

It would start the cut and I could get a "smiley", but it never made it through the thickness of the tubing.
