• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

A couple of weeks ago i bought an angle adjustable tubing notcher and have been plugging away making 90 degree cuts for my carry-thru structure. Then today i needed to start making some angled cuts. Turns out that the notcher is set up in a way that doesn't allow the tubing to fit underneath the hole saw unless it is at a flat 90. Trying any angle results in the tubing butting into the side of the bit....even at its retracted postion.


Either i'm missing something or they didn't bother to use one of these things before shipping them out to the stores. Either seems possible from where i'm sitting. HAS anyone else bought a tubing notcher from Harbour Frieght with the same result?????
