All looks like I can finally do something for the group. I have

a

lathe,

TIG, and unemployment. I would be willing to do a bit

of machining to make a few of the notcher's. Perhaps we can make

a

few

loaners that we ship around within the group. Lets get a

design together that makes sense.

Perhaps later we can also do something about a nice tubing

notcher

for

engine mounts and etc.

Karl and Paul, and others,
I made a copy of the plans for the tube beader that was in contact

mag a

few years ago intending to make one myself, but never did. A Fedex
machinist who was in my a/p class in Memphis opined that it wasn't

the

best he had seen, but might work for awhile, he wanted to beef it

up,

but we never got around to it. I found the drawing, and if you like

will

send it to you, (wish I could scan if, I could fax it), so send me
whatever works best to get it to you and I will send it to you.

Will do Paul,
Plans were in Contact issue 60, page 5. Is Contact still being
published?
Article says he used it on tubes from 1/2" to 1-1/2" made bead up to
.045" high bead, but .030 was more than enough. He also states the tube
must be in the soft annealed state. All on one page.
