Outstanding job building that machine!! You have no doubt caught a lot of attention with that one. Let's see some other machines you guys have created to make your work a little easier!!

Excellant job. Will have to save those pics for future project. Thanks for sharing them

Can you change the roller, at the end, to cut different size tubing?
It looks like you don't have a fixture for holding the tubing, are you holding it by hand and eyeballing it?

Nicely done! It looks like you don't have a fixture for holding the tubing, are you holding it by hand and eyeballing it? (that's what I do!)

Can you change the roller, at the end, to cut different size tubing? I saw a commercial one sorta like yours that all it did was use different rollers to match the tubing size. I like yours, you can use it as a regular belt sander too.

Between sketching up a basic plan, rounding up parts and building, probably 20 hours. I had to get a bigger, faster motor. Wound up with a 1 1/2 HP 3600 RPM. The machine is a huge timesaver for us. There are smaller versions available similar to this, but all use a 2" wide belt. This has a 4" belt. Went with a foot switch so both hands are free.

Great job, just wondering how many hours you got into the machine work involved. We use a tubing notcher on our stock car roll cages but this looks like it may speed things up a bit. Guess I gotta try to build one like it now. Dave

did you turn the Aluminum parts, or were they just the right size bar stock
Thanks for the compliments, I will post some pics after painting.
