- Fabrication Basics // "Stop" Measuring and use a "Stop" block.
In this video I took time out of building a loft ladder out of exhaust tubing, Check the link to that video below.
The purpose of htis video was to show you a way to setup a jig to use your drill press or milling maching to get perfect repeatable notches in tubing. It's as good as any dedicated tube notch machine. You could do something similar with a hand drill also.

Really good idea, using a piece of tubing to ensure that both notches are parallel. I was wondering how you were going to do that. Thanks for the demonstration!
These tricks are sure to help quite a few new players. Vids are great btw.
Cool glad it's of value
Nice tip on using the vertical tubing to keep your notches in line. Always learning some little nugget from you, Gary!
Best wishes,
TZ
Thanks Tom. I am going to have to make a trip to North Carolina to get some Fusion 360 lessons.
HIghly practical video and extremely helpful. Thank you for creating and posting.
Cool, glad it was useful for you
Audio was awesome on this vid Gary. Video looks like it was upgraded too. Great tips on cutting multiples.
I have had a DSLR for a couple years, but i stopped using it because for most garage project, for me it's more of a pain in the ass with shallow depth of field and trying to get it to focus on what i want. The go pro is cool because of the wide angle, but also has its draw backs (poor audio being one of them), but my go pro is a POS, i think it has hit the floor too many times lol, so go the DSLR back out, and it does have much better native audio onboard
I do like that technique, have done a lot of notching with my notching tool holder but most cuts are not the same dimension nor is the notch in the same orientation.will keep this idea up for future projects. We always use a cutting oil on the hole saw and are able to use the same hole saw for a complete buggy project.
Thanks Ed, yea, I hear ya if your making cages or frames out of round tube, one of the purpose build notchers is probably best, but this worked well for me. I didn't use any cutting oil because I only had a few notches to do and didn't want it interfering with the welding.
Great set up on the mill just want to add to this i know when figured your cut length you added material but for guys/gals that haven't had a lot of experience in fabrication always measure the first cut piece to ensure you have the desired length. It's just a good measure so you don't accidentally make a mistake. But keep up the great videos.
yes sir, well said Milton and a great point. Thanks for watching.
Well done Gary, did some very nice fixture setup there.
Thanks sir, its fun to put the tools to work and get consistent results, something i am not really used to lol
Save yourself a lot of time and skip the band saw. Several 90 degree notches can be done at the mill. Support the long pipe to the left or right. Each time the hole saw comes down you cut 2 ends at a time. Draw a reference line along the length of the pipe. Mark a spot on the cheeks not the jaws of the vice to match up with the marks on the pipe so you can position the pipe in the vice consistently.
Just passing on knowledge that was once passed on to me.
Thanks for your video.
Another great video to help us noobs out. Thank you sir!
Thanks Jim!
Nice job Gary. Very informative.
thanks George
Really nice job Gary! Just thinking with your head can make you x10 more efficient!
Your exactly right, thanks man !
Very nice idea Gary sweet thanks for all the daily vids bro
Thanks for watching Thomas
Great tip for setting up on the mill.Thx
Thanks Rick
Nice set up Gary, good ideas all the way around.
Thanks Martin. I may get with you here in the next few days to see if you want to help me swap out the tail stock on the lathe and get it running, i should have everything i need now.
+🔥Ramsey Customs - turbocobra sounds good to me.
It may have already been mentioned but when I do repetitive saw cuts I’ll throw a 1/8” piece of scrap aluminum between my stop and the material. Once the clamp is locked down I take it out. That way when the cut is finished the material has the 1/8” gap so it’s neither pushing on the stop or the blade.
Nice setup for lining up your notches.

Good video. I need to add a mill stop on my mill vise but it's hard drilling a hole in a virgin vise. I do hate hole saws. I used them a bit in my most recent video, and they just never cut well. Kind of a necessary evil though. I need to invest in some nice annual cutters, those look like the bee's knees.
thanks for good explain
If you do notching on rare occasions, this is ok. If you do notches pretty often.... maybe invest in a notcher. It is so much faster, you can dial in to offset from center if needed, you can change degrees to accommodate for angles. You get so many notches from 1 bit. It's a few thousand bucks but you make that money back so fast in the time saved that it's crazy not to have 1.
Not trying to be negative, nice video! Using a keyless chuck running holesaws is a bad idea for a couple reasons. First you are being needlessly hard on your chuck as it has lots of leverage tightening itself due to the size of the hole saw. It has enough leverage that it will crush the hollow arbor on the hole saw - ask me how I know! :-) Thanks for making and sharing the video always nice seeing how others attack problems!
great idea i'll got you thanks for your video sharing
That is a neat trick to getting them all the same length. when I cut stuff it seems like there all a little bit different in length.
Yea, when you measure individual pieces it's almost impossible to cut more than one the same length, they will all end up 1/32 - 1/16 off from each other.
Great idea.
Nice easy set up. Just an idea, the washer under the nut holding down the angle block barely grabs the block, a larger dia washer would grab better and spread the load.
Good catch, yea i was using a 7/16 bolt in that slot with a 7/16 washer, i wasn't really using the angle plate for mounting anything, only as a stop, so i only put a tiny amount of torque on it to keep it from moving... It really needs a 1/2" bolt/washer/t-nut to your exact point! Thanks James!
Nice work I'm from Brazil on there in their big hug channel
big hug channel?
Great tips. thanks.
Thanks man
nicely done
Master!
came here from the fan forum!!! nice to meet you
Thanks Andrew, are you a fabricator ?
+Gary Ramsey I'm trying to be im a carpenter by hobby and a dad for career
+Gary Ramsey very cool stuff
Nice tool. Want to ask where to find the drill bit
I had to wonder why not just begin with the final notcher setup and feed it the whole stick? No chop saw operations required. You cut 2 notches and part each piece from the stick with a single operation.
yea you could definitely do that, if it was a big production run would have saved a ton of time, as it was it took about 5 minutes to cut them all to length to begin with.
Question am new to notching and been having a hard time why did u cut at 18 inches and did u start to drill 1 inch in or did u align the saws teeth at 1 inch 🤔 hope I make sense
Sorry if this has been asked, but what brand of holesaw would you recommend? my 2" ones only last a few cuts on 3mm tube before they strip teeth.
I like.
Thanks Rich
Nice VDO Gary
what is important to tell here i think is the cutting tool should be the same diameter as the tube being cut.
yes, thats a basic assumption that I made that everyone trying to notch something would know, but i should have clarified it.
I disagree with this I have found that using a cutter just a little bit bigger than pipe size gives a better fit
Hola a cuantas vueltas trabaja la broca.un saludo de argentina
anyone who ownes a mill would know how to do this, but how many fence builders and pipe fitters have a mill? I have to notch with horizontal band saw or torch in the field
I had a 19 year old kid with mobile fence building rig come interview with me one time. He had a DIY notching setup on his mobile rig. Very creative setup.
Good
Cool
Thanks Ron
Sooooo you did not use a tube notcher hum?
Hi the holsow wat brand ? Company
Copy that sir. Thanks!
Same same!
Thanks Tom
Video starts at 1:08
Also loved how the "stop block" just moves @ 2:58 ... useless.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Pancho
no cutting oil?
nah, super thin metal, old hole saw, plus was tig welding it immediately after so didn't want to have deal with a lot of clean up, did 14 notches, worked well!
