A Tubing Notcher Is a Must for Building Roll Cages or Any Custom Tubing Project 

There are many options for pre-cut roll bar and roll cage kits for popular chassis running down the dragstrip or around the oval track. However, if you’re running something unique, or are looking to craft a custom solution for your race car a roll cage tubing notcher is a must have tool for your shop. Without a tube notcher tool you will be eyeballing your cuts and angles using a grinder or other cutting tool that will not be as precise as a tube notcher. While a tube coping tool is a step up, using tube notcher is a huge time saver. A roll cage tubing notcher is but one of several roll cage building tools you will need to build your custom roll bar or cage. This goes for any tubing project, including suspension pieces, custom headers, and more. Pair our tube notcher with our tubing bender for all your tubing fabrication needs.

All Steel and Aluminum Construction for Years of Trouble Free Use

Our pipe notcher tool starts with strong 1/4-inch water jet and press bent hot rolled steel plate for its main mounting surface. We use the same strong 1/4-inch steel plate material for the adjustable angle joint plate and the tool free tubing clamp assembly. A 3/4-inch mandrel rides in bronze bushings seated in an oversized 2 inch by 3 inch aluminum mandrel support. The protractor scale is graduated from 0- to 55-degrees of pipe angle. This is not the angle of your cut, but the angle of the pipe layout. For example, if you’re adding door bars to your basic 4-point roll bar and the door bar angle is 32 degrees, once you have set your door bar into the joint plate’s clamp you would move the joint plate to indicate 32 degrees on the protractor scale for your cut.

Our Hole Saw Tube Notcher Creates Precise Cuts with Quick Setup Almost Anywhere

Being able to use our tubing notcher just about anywhere means you can easily bring the tool to the project versus the project to the tool. Helping a friend build a roll cage for their race car? If they have workbench with a suitable vise, it’s game on! Now you don’t have to worry about having room for a whole car in your workshop, dealing with pushing a chassis on and off a trailer, and so forth. Just grab your Speedway Motors tube notcher and the rest of your roll cage building tools and bring the party to them! Setup is quick and easy. With the 1/4-inch steel mounting flange secured in a bench vise you’re ready to go. You can even configure it to use as a drill press tube notcher with little effort. It is so much quicker and easier to use than the typical hand pipe coping tool some use. Grab the included 1-3/4-inch hole saw or purchase the appropriate hole saw blade for your tubing size need. Speaking of tubing, we offer roll cage tubing in several diameters and in both round and square tube options for your project. The same can be said for our exhaust pipe options too. Whether it is custom headers or just making an H-pipe crossover, our tube notcher tool will get the job done quickly and accurately.

Overall Assessment

Customers highly recommend this sturdy and well-built notcher for its exceptional value for the money, solid build, and excellent precision. The product is appreciated for its effectiveness in the construction of roll cages and other projects requiring precise cuts, with its ease of use emphasized in several reviews. Although some users expressed concerns about the durability of the bushing, the notcher's overall functionality is considered to exceed its price point. The notcher's portability was highlighted as making it ideal for both professional and home usage. The accuracy of the degree indicator, the ability to easily adjust the angle, and the great quality of cuts were also mentioned as key features. However, keep in mind that adequate lubrication is critical for prolonging the tool's life span. It's a great pick for any stage of expertise, from hobbyists to professionals.

Not a bad product for the price

Works pretty good. Built an entire tube chassis rock crawler with it on my first blade. Only issue is the bearing is simply a bronze bushing. I used an electric hand drill and lubricated the bearing each cut as well as the cutting blade but over time the shaft started to deflect as the bearing wears away. Replacing the bronze bushing with needle bearings or mounting it in a drill press would be a great idea to make it last longer but all in all not too bad for $100. Maybe Speedway should carry replacement or upgraded bearing blocks?

I would not buy this again

I use this product to install roll cages and supports. The clamp does not hold the tubing tight and the block continues to walk. This makes for a terrible cut

I bought this notcher to use on rollbars, rock sliders and tube bumpers. For me, consistency and repeatability, were extremely important. While the degree chart on the notcher may not be perfectly accurate, I was able to create repeatable notches, at a great price. If you are in a full production assembly line situation, keep looking. If you are a normal guy using it for your race car, or your truck, this is the notcher you want.

I haven't used this yet on some roll cage tubing, but it certainly is well made and heavy duty. Will update after using on roll cage tubing. If you do that type of thing in your garage you better grab one now. Mine was out of stock and had to wait on backorder, but it was well worth it! Get one today!
