Homemade tube notching

[brans87]

Did these notches on my little band saw can I get input???? Will be for sliders.

Never done this before played around 20 degrees seemed best but newbie here on this.

not bad... carbide burr on a die grinder, or even a flapwheel, would make them perfect in short order...... I did EVERY single mitre joint and fishmouth on Mutt's bed with my bandsaw...

do you have the angle chart from Pirate?

It will do the trick but tighter fitting is always better. Hit em with the grinder and fit each notch a bit closer and them bevel it and burn it in.

Hit the top and bottom edges with a flap wheel.

Sliders are a great place to practice notching

"You start with what I call the base angle. This is the angle of both cuts if the joint was 90*. For an example, I am fitting Two tubes together that are both 1.75", at an 90* joint. The base angle, or the angle of both cuts is 28*. These two cuts must meet at a point, and the point must also be centered on the tube.

Remember your base angle will change with the tube being cut and the tube that you are fitting to.

Here are a few examples of base angles...

2.0" to 2.0" tube, base angle of 30*

1.75" to 1.75" tube, base angle of 28*

1.5" to 1.5" tube, base angle of 26*

1.25" to 1.25" tube, base angle of 22.5*

1" to 1" tube, Base angle of 20*

Now to fit different size tubes together

1.75" to 2" tube, base angle of 25*

1.75" to 1.25" tube, base angle of 45*

1.25" to 1.75 tube, base angle of 20*

1" to 2" tube, base angle of 12*
