KF5008 2 Inch Hole Saw Pipe Tube Notcher Tubing Notcher - Adjustable up to 60 Degree

Made a few bumpers out of it and it was great better then using a grinder

This is a very solidly made tool. However, it is not very precisely made, which is expected for its price.The shaft and block are nicely machined for a very smooth fit No slop at all. I highly recommend it be oiled with motor oil or similar when in use. And keep it well protected against rust when storing it.The threads for the hole saw fitting were larger in diameter than it should’ve been, and I had to run a die to bring it to proper specifications. Otherwise the hole saw wouldn’t fit.Also, the markings for the angle settings are way off. Even when the printed template was set precisely at zero, the 45-degree mark was off by 3 degrees. It’s also stuck on with a weak adhesive, making it prone to shifting. I had to engrave the most commonly used angles to make it easier to set the most commonly used angles.Otherwise it does a nice job of cutting perfectly good notches. The photo shows 1” scrap steel tubing set up with a 45-degree angle.

Well made tool

This notcher works as intended. A bit of a puzzle out of the box, the mandrel was installed upside down and the vice bracket had rotated out of position, but after that, all's well for notching 3/8" schedule 40 pipe. The mandrel accepts small cutters and the included adapter works for larger diameter hole saws. Adjustment requires a couple of wrenchs and some time, but notcher is solidly built and the cutter lines up with the center of the stock. good for the home shop. requires solid clamps or bolt to drill press table.

Overall well built. Only problem being the 5/8-18 threads on the adaptor were not a true 18 tpi. Purchased a new name brand one, and works fine..

The media could not be loaded. Used this to cut dozens of notches in 1.75" outside diameter DOM steel tubing for a roll cage. This was the most affordable option I could find but it worked well despite the low price. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR ANGLES though because its protractor isn't perfect.

The media could not be loaded. Adapter for holes saws way off didn’t even try to cut with it

While this item appears to be with pretty good welding for an imported product, it does require you to either have a spare drill chuck or buy one to use it. While you might be able to remove the existing one from your drill press, the way to to is designed you'll likely need a smaller chuck to fit.Once set up its a simple to operate tool, but I wouldn't recommend it for using on multiple angles very often, as there's no index or other means of setting an angle other then manually using a miter gauge or other tool.The bar or tube hold is very simple, very center style that works well for fast setup, but not for the most precision work.

Funciona muy bien, sin embargo los tornillos que sujetan la base son de pesima calidad y pierden su cuerda, solo hay que cambiarlos por unos de Grado y listo...

This is a review of the KASTFORCE KF5008 Hole Saw Pipe tube Notcher. It arrives in a thick cardboard box as it is heavy! There are very good instructions with photos to assist. There are no hole saws supplied for fairly obvious reasons. You will however need three spanners - a 14mm, 19mm and 22mm - (see photos) which are not supplied. Assembling it was straightforward but setting it up is the key but once done, its satisfying and worth effort. There is an adaptor nut (this is where the 22mm spanner comes in handy) so you can use two different, threaded hole saws if required. Once it is set, any more of the same profile are quite easy to cut but it’s all down to getting it right the first time as you will be amazed as the end result. Overall a good reasonably priced alternative to our labours in the past that involved a hacksaw and assorted size half round files to get the same result while this did it in a fraction of the time. Overall a very good device once set up.

gives a reasonable accurate repeatable cut. can be a bit cack-handed to use at first but price verses function excellent

This KF5008 Hole saw pipe tube nother doing great job in my garage and it is very easy to use machine of course, if someone has already dealt with similar machines, And I already had a car school and in my former job and this machine will be very useful in my garage where I collect all the necessary products for equipment. It can be used on a drill press or slow speed hand drill, tubing capacity: 2" /50mm, spindle: 1/2", spindle adopter: 1/2"—5/8". Item weight is about over 5kg. Good quality machine for long time of use for sure. I can easily recommend it to anyone.

The media could not be loaded. This requires an hour or two to set up and familiarise yourself with it, but follow the instructions supplied.Once you’ve set it up for the first time, it will be much easier to do the second time.Substantial piece of equipment, and good value for money when compared to the cost of the more expensive ones.I am impressed with this, and I do recommend it for anyone doing anything with tubing as it makes life so much easier and it’s affordable to have sitting on the shelf for the odd occasion you need it.
