Notching

[antt]

i'm gonna be cutting and joining a shiat load of tubing over the next few weeks, so wanted to look at getting something to help with notching.....previously we've just oxy cut or grinded the tube but that is a pita and time consuming.

can ya get something like this-> http://www.pipemastertools.com/ in australia? anyone know an approximate price?

look at computer software. type in pipe size and angle than prit out cut out trace and bang a perfect fishmouth.

or buy a jig for $400 odd from speedworx

cheers

Hey antt,

A1Mav and i used 2 plazma cut all our tube and pipe joints but wen i was doing the new front bar i used Surfections tube notcher from protools and wot can i say it makes life so much easier....

the speedwerx notcher sells 4 like $400 and is well worth it in my mind 4 the amount of time u save and how clean the joins come up u just notch it put it 2gether and then weld it up so easy mate..

A1 and i r going 2 buy one soon

There is a Hare & Forbes in Brisbane Antt, give them a buzz... was in there on satdy [in sydney] and saw the notcher spaz is talking about. Very good value for money for what you get !!! Phone number for them in Bris is - 3274 4222
