what bit for block notching?
ok, so i have done this before with some grinding pieces, but I have to think there is a better bit out there for this. I have a air powered die grinder. (like the photo with those bits)

depending on how much you want to remove, i would think a cut-off wheel would be good with a sanding pad or cookie or a wire wheel on the die grinder for smoothing out.

Either tool will work. You just need to mark the block first and stay within the lines. It's like cutting paper

Those bits are designed for steel, not aluminum. They clog up almost instantly if you use them on aluminum. Then you have to sit there with a nail and try to pick off all the little pieces of stuck aluminum from the carbide teeth... It sucks.

Hmm... good point. I guess clogging a steel bit with aluminum is better than breaking an aluminum bit on the iron liner. All I know is that I asked about using a steel bit (exactly like the ones posted above) on aluminum in the fab forum and everyone said not to because it would clog the bit. I ignored them and did it anyway and the bit clogged nearly entirely and became worthless. The aluminum pieces really stick in there.

I had to do this on a buddy's block, I used the same bit pictured above. and worked at it slowly.
