Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4	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?
