|  miniature tube notcher I have checked most of the tube notching threads and everyone seems to just eye it, with dremels or grinders. Is there a tool out there to properly brace the tubing and get a correct degree set. I would like real tight fits but doing by hand I would image there would always be little imperfections. Has somebody made a jig? or can you buy one? |

| Alright I was hoping that there was a tool out there so you can set the angles and clamp the tube in to have an exact angle notch on the tube. Maybe I will see about fabricating somthing. |

| i use the tool holder on my lathe and put a 1/4" end mill in the chuck, then put the tube in the tool holder, set your angle, and notch |
