Hi,
Over time I've notched tubes with a file and hack saw, and with a grinder. It seems there's always a notch or two I need or a regular basis. I feel the drill way is a little quieter than a grinder.
There was a thread on here about the Metz notcher, I can't find it. ( it didn't seem favourable to the notcher, and if they are all the same build quality)
I've seen the tube notchers they look a simple design but I've no idea about the bearing. They look all similar design if not just a name change.
I've a grinder, old gasless (I know) welder and some off cuts lying around but the bearing is putting me off. Is there any way of buying or reproducing some sort of bearing or making one without a lathe.
cheers Andy

Tube notcher
I had a few tubes that needed "notching" a while ago, i was using a borrowed notcher but needed my own and didn't fancy buying one or using the lathe or miller. So a couple of pics. The tubes are 2" by 1" , some rectangular, some oval. They needed notching longways to fit 1" tubing...

Tube notcher/jig type thing
Now and again i need to notch some tubing at one or two angles and lengths. I have a standard type notcher but it takes a while to set the tube up to notch it....this job usually needs around 100-150 notches at a time. This is my attempt to make something to speed it all up. Machining...
