The Official Tube Notching Thread

I did a quick mock-up of the new lower rails and crossmembers to see what the fit-up looks like. The notches came out great and I have some tight fitting joints for welding.

I still have to clean up all of the welding surfaces yet, this is just a look see for fit-up. I will go over all of the joints with a flap wheel on the die grinder to prep for welding...

I use the JD2 Beast its a holesaw style, i used several different types of notchers and this is the most versitile one. The reason i like the holesaw style is because its cheaper to replace and can find at any local hardware store. I used the motorized notchers with the endmills at Jerry Bickels and they arent as versitile, For example you can notch in the center of a bend with the beast and not the motorized one. Heres a link....

We have an abrasive notching unit with a 3 1/2" at 30 degree tube notching capacity, which we love.

I have been traveling to another shop lately werking on a top sportsman chassis with a shop that doesn't have a notcher.
So I need a "traveling" notcher now

I was thinking hard about the "the beast".... after seeing the new Baileigh notcher my mind is made up!!
