Using the Speedy Notcher Roll Cage Tubing/Pipe Notching Tool
If you're getting into custom tubing work or putting together a roll cage, you're going to want a tool that makes precise cuts and angles without too much fuss. That's where something like the Speedy Notcher Roll Cage Tubing/Pipe Notching Tool comes in handy. We discussed the features and how to use our tubing notcher in this Speedway Motors Tech Talk video, and why it'll help you get your fabrication project done quickly and accurately.
Highlights of the Speedy Notcher Roll Cage Tubing/Pipe Notching Tool
- Construction and assembly: Our tubing notcher is made from sturdy steel and aluminum. When you unpack it, there's a little setup tip you should know about: the clamp's rounded part comes on the flat side, but you'll want to switch it around so it's on the V-side. This helps avoid any accidental dents or kinks in your tubing.
- Precise cuts with protractor scale: One useful feature is its protractor scale, which helps set the angle you want your pipe to lay at. This isn't about the angle of the cut itself but the angle at which the pipe will sit. Getting this right is crucial for a snug fit. To keep that angle in place, you just tighten a couple of nuts.
- Portability: It’s designed to be easy to set up wherever you need it, making it convenient for different projects or locations. It simplifies what used to be a complex part of the fabrication process, ensuring you get clean, accurate cuts.
- What's included: The package includes a few essentials to get you started: instructions, a Spanner wrench, a 1-3/4" hole saw blade, and a threaded reducer.
For anyone interested in seeing how this notcher works and why it might be a good fit for their projects, our Tech Talk video is a great place to start. It doesn't just show off the notcher but also gives a good sense of why it’s a practical choice for custom fabrication work, like roll cages or headers. It’s the kind of tool that, once you start using it, you’ll wonder how you managed without it.
