Pipe/tube fish mouth program

Any special projects involving a decent amount of fab work (bumpers, sliders, roof racks, etc)

I've used this a few times, seems to do a pretty alright job. You input the tube/pipe diameter and wall, then the angle of fit up and then it prints out a paper template so you can easily cut it out with a 4.5" grinder. You have to download the file and run it. Thought I would share.

Is this part of your "big plans" for the future?

You could use it for fitting up a roll cage, sure. Basically anything where you're going to be fitting up tube or pipe.
It's a lot more work than using a tubing notcher, but it works well for smaller jobs.


Dave, I have no big plans, what do you speak of? Best move along, nothing to see here. lol
