andyescos have a look under the ROLLCAGES AND CHASSIS SETUP -> ROLLCAGE ADDITIONS/TOOLS section of www.rollcentre.co.uk



"Our Tube Notcher makes light work of making weldable joints for self instllation of rollcages, and any type of tube work, including wish bones.

Will notch from zero to sixty degree angles. Uses a strret type hole saw up to 2” in diameter. Use a hand electric drill to power it."

Ł150

quick cut saw and angle grinder surely the easiest way?

Danny B

S3an

surely a cheap Ł50 Ł60 chop saw does the job very easily

Danny B

Andy if you want one of those sheers I may be able to help as I'm shipping lots of equipment for my workshop next week, all coming from states.

A chop saw won't cut a radiused edge though will it...

Red16

andyescos

hole saws like the one in the first pic arent meant to be used at an angle,it would rip the teeth off it in no time

AlexF

or maybe go halfs?!?!?!


Alex

Jamz

Out of interest, what will you be using to bend your tube ?

James

andyescos

James, my hands, I'm a big lad! Only joking, my mate who has a garage around the corner from me is lending me his hydraulis press and pipe bender.

Alex, borrow it when ya need it, no probs as long as it comes back with a new blade each time!

Danny, cheers, will do.

hope this helps

andyescos

how much was shipping moose?

John Doe

Andy, if that pipe bender your going to borrow is like the ones in northern tools catalogue it wont be no good for CDS, it will kink it.

You need a proper mandrel TUBE bender not a PIPE bender.

In all honesty though mate, your better off buying a weld in cage from Martin, Rollcentre racing, you still get to notch it and weld it, but you dont have to bend anything, and all the tube is batched so its from the same stock.
