These tools, tips and tricks make tube fabrication a breeze! We cover how to setup, measure and cut the tubing for perfect tube notching and welding. Beginners will be able to get the fit perfect first try, no warm up. These tools make tube fabrication a breeze! Three steps and you're done. Center mark the tubes. Press the tool into place. Then mark the tube to be cut with the shape the tool now has. That's it! Cut the tubing and clean up the edges for welding. Experienced users will be able to get the fit perfect first try, no warm up. Beginners will need some practice. Makes roll cages, custom bumpers, race car chassis, handrails, anything that requires fabrication with tubing this tool is a must have. If you're a welder and fabricator and always hated how long it takes to cope, fish mouth, or join tubes. Look no further. Subscribe to our channel to see upcoming tutorials and lots of cool projects that we build with these tools. As always anything we do will be available to the public as soon as it's done. If you have a 3D printer you can download the .stl files from us and print your own. But if you don't have a 3D printer you can buy the tools directly from us. We will be happy to make them and ship them straight to you. Tube notching tools and tube coping tools serve a very specific purpose. They are used to take the guesswork out for joining together tubes of different diameters, angles, offsets and curves. Our tools reduce the amount of time to make these notches and copes. Welders and fabricators love our tools. What used to be done in days now takes hours. From simple custom tube bumpers and fender guards to complex roll cages and race car chassis. Tube fabrication is hard and without good tools and techniques it will always be hard. Our tube notching and coping tools are far more affordable and include far more functionality than competitors such as Pipe Master and Baileigh. How did we do this? We use our tools! Check out our custom tube fabrication cars. Which means we modify and cut the waste from our design until it serves us the best with the least amount of waste. We design build and use these tube notching tools or tube coping tools A LOT! Two scratch build cars and one modified Camaro to date. Here are our best tips and how we build a complete chassis in one 40hr work week. First, tube fabrication for us always starts with a design. OPEN SOURCE DESIGNS 1) We design with Fusion 360. This allows us to work out fitment of various parts and the tube chassis before and tubes are made, notched and coped. All of our designs are open source and some are community designed. 2) Having the tube fabricated structure designed and evaluated in the Fusion 360 allows us to save time and money on simple mistakes. Then when the build is done the design makes it easy for anyone to repeat our results. 3) Building to the 3D model is very convenient. We use our tube notching tools to outline the copes we need to make then use our tube notching machine to make all the cuts. Then the tube is checked to make sure it was made to the models specifications. FIXTURING AND WELDING 1) We have our own fixturing system that uses inexpensive 8020 T-slot extrusions for the structure and 3D printed clamps and positioners to hold all the tubes in place. 2) After we notch the tubes and fit them in the fixture for welding to complete the copes. We check them dimensionally to make sure we are fitting them as close as possible to what the model says. Years of hard work have gone into developing these tools. Tube notching and coping is easy when you have the right tools and techniques. We make, use and teach everything about tube notching and tube fabrication for the motorsports industry. We have no doubt that these are the best tools out there. See our web site for details. If you have a 3D printer you can download the .stl files from us and print your own.
