      Don't throw it in the trash! Give it to one of us less fortunate gearheads!

      Did you get if from baileigh or somewhere else? Just wondering how many bones they cost.

      I have had and tried many different notchers over the years. From Mittler to the Ye Old Joint Jigger. I always end up going back to doing them by hand on the Burr King belt sander! It is much faster, I can play with angles very easily and have done thousands of notches this way when building cages or complete Off Road Chassis, some of which have been on Baja race winning cars.
      Just works much better for me. And I know a bunch of guys in the industry that do the same. I was taught this method by Jerry Penhall of Penhall Fabrications in Costa Mesa when I worked for him many years ago.

      The TN-250 is going to be a very useful. It will not replace my mittler bros. but will do some nocthes that the mittler wont. Having the tn-250 & mittler bros notcher now is like having my cake and eating it too.The tn-250 is a very super heavy duty piece equipment. You will not find a nicer built notcher for the money. For the home shop fabricater this is the perfect tool. And the nice thing is they dont have it over priced.If you look into buying this tool, also look at the deep hole saws that vansant has to offer.They make cutting those long angle cuts easier.As soon as I learn how to run the notcher & hold the camera at the same time I will posts some photo's.Scott.(This is not been a paid advert.)

      Welding tubing

      Just a quick comment for any newbies to roll cage fabrication. For the best structural weld it is important to have a perfect fit. If the notch angle is off practice a bit with scrap tubing until you get the proper angle.

      As a last resort, if you have a small gap in one area you can lay a piece of welding rod in the gap before welding.

      It's amazing how many people (me included) come back to the hand method ? after it's all said and done... My previous favorite was using a fixture on the tool rest of a lathe and putting an end mill in the chuck. Now I cut everything with a "suicide wheel" on a Bosch angle grinder. A BIG disc sander works great too, I've just found that in most cases it's easier to take the tool to the tube than the tube to the tool.

      When working with 4130, I don't even cut the tube off first; I just mark out the notches and use the notch cuts to sever the piece. I typically need 2 of everything, so the next end is mostly prepped as well. Cuts down on a LOT of waste.

      Shane; that is the reason I bought this notcher.It would take hours to do those notches by hand w/a grinder or belt sander.I have all ready done that type of work w/my awesome TN-250.I got the extra deep hole saws & only have to cut the slug in half once on those super deep notches.I couldn't be w/o my TN-250 now.The best $550.00 dollars I have spent in the shop in year's.Scott Mock
