It's a way to notch tubing in a lathe. You mount a roughing endmill in a collet or the chuck, and the material is clamped to the cross slide/tool holder with a set of v-blocks and some clamps of sorts. On really big cutters or longer cuts it's helpful to use a live center in the end of the cutter to support is m(unless you like sharp metal bits flying at yo face!)
I primarily use a mill with a hole saw, I machined a tool holds the hole saw and it does alright.

I use a V block and rougher in a lathe to do the notches works very well. The last I new neither a band saw or a chop saw could cut round notches.The angle really doesnt matter at a rough cut stage. You can come up with that 1 spot where it may be handy but I wouldnt buy based on that 1 spot.

I agree with Jon on this. It is personal preference!

Like I said before I have a Milwaukee porta band (from my construction days)and a chop saw wins 99% of the time. So for a fab race garage I would go with the chop saw.

That is a nice welder by the way. Lots of fun projects you can build now.

So what the heck is a v block and rougher in a lathe? (I don't get out much) I learned to notch tubing with a torch back in the old days...

Sooooo. Robert?

In looking and researching roll cages. I think it is beyond my expertise. Ill build one for the taco, since itll be for use in slow moving situations. But the roll cage for tha rabbit. Just dont have the tools of space for them at the moment. Need some guidence on this.

I'd talk to one of the people just posted in the "Who can build me a car" thread.
