How to Notch Tube with Cheap Tools!

Learn to notch tubing quickly using a template and a grinder. This video shows how to create templates for quick notching and how to notch tubing if you don't have access to a tube notcher.
Tube notchers are most valuable in production work where many of the same notch are needed. In this video we discuss why an expensive tube notcher may not be worth the expense for small shops and how you can save time by just notching by hand.
0:00 Intro
1:26 Tube Notching Using a Template

7:03 Notching a Tube at 90 Degrees Without a Notcher
9:00 Why Tube Notchers Don't Save Much Time

There really are a LOT of tube notching videos on YT but this one is by far the most detailed one I found. I’m in the process of building a roll cage(pre cut tubes cuz I’m a noob) and I’ll be making those templates for the next one. Thank you so much!! 🤘

Thank you, Rocky! Pre made tubes is definitely the way to go if you have the option. Cutting and bending is crazy time consuming and tedious. 😩

A chop saw, band saw, or better yet a modern cermet metal cutting saw set at 32 degrees will make perfect notches for 90 degree pipe connections in a fraction of the time with no template needed. You can learn the degrees needed for angles with very little experimentation. I mostly do structural work now, but have built thousands of feet of tube railing using this method. Cut pipe at 32, rotate pipe 180 and repeat. You'll figure out the rest quickly if you have a room temp IQ.

As a steamfitter I often use a program that allows me to print out a continuous sheet of paper with x's on the sheet that I would then i.e. wrap this template around a 6" pipe, tape it and then take a punch and mark at each x on the sheet to end up with the correct cut line. Next I get the torch out and cut on the line, clean it up and ready to weld. I can do this in the field very easily for any size or angle and for instance I could put a 3" saddle on a 6" pipe at 45 degrees. In a fab shop we always have templates for various combinations and sizes or I would just get out the pipefitters handbook and layout according to the formula. I like your presentation. well done.

If you need to develop a notch template for the first time and don't have any pre-notched pipe at the angle you need, you could use something like Autodesk Fussion 360 or any other CAD system to generate the template. You can then export the template lines to a printer or even send them to a laser cutter if you have access to one. 👍

No luxuries in my work space what's so ever, don't even have 220V or a air compressor. Just started using cordless tools just last year, but I still find my self using mainly hand tools. I have found if you can do things by hand you are more well knowledge in those things you work/build by hand. I've been wrenching on vehicles for a while now without having the finer things while doing it. Not being the best out their, I am pretty dang good at the things I do. Out of all the videos I've seen on this matter, your is the first I've seen to bevel the edges to be welded. Good information for anyone.

I was blown away seeing you switch out blade to flapper on your grinder. First thing I realized was get a grinder for each type of blade I use. Start with cheap grinders if you need to and upgrade as you wear cheap tools out.

@GarageFab 6 ай бұрын

Agreed! Honestly I don’t even upgrade. The Harbor Freight cheapies last at least a year and it’s not really a big deal to me to run and grab another. Also $20 is cheap enough for me to just keep a new unopened one on the shelf for when one finally cusps out. I actually have several grinders for each type of disk, but for this video I didn’t want to “cheat” by using more than one grinder for those that only have one. 👍

Drafting was my favorite class in high school in 1992, I still make a compass out of a piece of string and a marker or a couple sticks to make all kinds of stuff in a pinch. Scribing would work here too. Just cut it close quick then lay the marker flat on the tube and scribe a line on the notched pipe.
