tube notchers
Hey guys I am looking for a tube notcher. Started doing some searching on ebay. This JD squared one looks pretty nice

How do these type of notchers work? And do they make decent cuts?

Re: tube notchers (dave@passenger)
you are really talking about two vastly different tools here.
one is for using with a hole saw. this can do some radical types of joints.
the other is basically for snipping off some metal.
alternatives are always the grinding wheel or...
if you have a chop saw, cut off the end of the tube at about 30° angles on two sides and touch up with the grinder or.....
if you have access to a decent sized mill, use a 1.5" end roughing bit like this one:
