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

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

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.

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.

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