HELPFUL TIPS:
• This tool is designed to accurately form an angled “fishmouth” notch in a piece of metal tubing.
Softer metals such as aluminum and copper tubing can be cut with minimal effort while carbon
and stainless steel will require greater effort to achieve the same results. Thicker walled tubing
will also require more effort than thinner walled material.
• Keep the saw teeth lubricated with cutting oil and keep the feed speed slow. Make sure the
Arbor Shaft is kept clean of metal chips and dirt and is always well lubricated.
• Be aware that finished “fishmouth” cuts have
extremely sharp
edges, handle them carefully.
The rough sawn edges will need to be ground or filed with the final desired shape and properly
prepared for welding.
• When finished, clean the tool of metal chips and excess oil. Handle the chips with
extreme care.
• When notching at a high angle the hole saw may bottom on the tubing itself. To finish the notch,
remove waste material from the hole saw’s path.
