and here from the eastwood R&D department today i'm going to introduce
to you our Eastwood pro tubing not sure you can watch anything from three
quarter inch tubing up to 3 inch tubing so you can make a go-kart for your kid a
roll cage for your drag car or an exhaust for your hot rod simply use any
half inch drill to power your tubing not sure it can either be mounted on your
workbench or advice
it accepts all standard hole saws and it is adjustable up to 50 degrees the
loosening of one bolt
today I'm going to show you some tips and tricks on how to use the to be not
sure you can confidently finish your project
once you're set up you want to make sure the nachos level 1 all axes you don't
have the natural level you won't get exact matches every time
all right next thing you want to do is set up your hole saw itself
we give you two spacers and an adapter you need to put the first one on the
ship itself second one is going to go on the adapter and then you're going to go
and thread in your desired hole size
you'll then move over to the actual ship itself and start threading in
don't worry about getting an extremely tight when you actually start doing
you're not watching it all naturally tighten up itself
so what I've set up is a small jig that way what we can do we can do a 90 degree
here will show that not in a moment and then we're going to do a 45 will be able
to show you how to get the exact dimensions right and not waste too much
material that way you're going to have stronger roll cage stronger coke or
whatever in the we're actually making your project
it's going to be stronger you can use any any drill i would suggest using a
120 bolt outside of a battery-operated if you're doing a bunch of notches
throughout the day here in the killing batteries pretty quickly
so for now we'll be using you know what we have on hand
we're going to do is we're going to load the piece of tubing into the actual not
yourself
we're going to do is we're going to start by getting this snug
what we're going to do is we're going to a 90 degree notch which on our scale is
going to bring us 20 and based on this not sure its design
you need one wrench and you have your other hand on the actual block itself
will be tightening this down or other designs
you need to have two wrenches and you can hold you two wrenches and the actual
block at the same time in order to be efficient when it comes to using as
little too as possible
right now we've got inch and a half to being here so we want to set this up so
is roughly a third of the diameter of the actual tubing itself
I just marked half an inch so we're going to line up the edge of the whole
soul in that location
that way we're not wasting a tremendous amount of material and then we'll be
tightening that down and then based on the outer diameter of the whole soul
which is the same as the tubing itself you can see that it's going to cut just
a tiny bit out of here
you're not going to waste any tube something to make sure you do if you
want to keep your whole soul is alive for a very long time is to put some
cutting oil on the edge maybe a little bit on the actual tubing itself
we're going to start with our 90 degree notch now they were set up
ok
we do have a little bit extra here you can see where the flat edges are going
to go over with our belt sander and clean up the edges that way we have a
perfect edge - well - we got a little bit of an edge all the way around the
entire piece of tubing that way when we weld
we've got a full penetration and a nice clean world right now we're going to
swap over to a 45-degree notch which you can see in the back
we'll walk it down here and in order to use as a little wasted tube as possible
we're going to do is we're going to push the hole saw Ford
we're going to line it up so the edges right there they're basically just
kissing each other and we'll tighten it down and we'll get our not started
indicate a little bit again
as you can see again basically no wasted material at all if you're done cleaning
the edges before going to go and well you might want to get some acetone
there's going to be a small bird is going to be cutting fluid inside
so you want to really clean out the inside when you get steal from whether
it be a home improvement store or steel mill
there's always going to be off with a mill scale and coatings that when you go
to weld you're going to make sure that it's all cleaned up
we want to make sure the outside and the inside clean we did our notch
we did some of the cleanup that we needed to to make sure there was no
little pieces on the edge and did some cleaning of the actual tube that we're
going to be an upwelling to you can see at 90 degrees
there's no space all the way around
so when you do your weld you're going to have full penetration and also material
on material instead of material gap in a well you're going to have more strength
we want to do a 45-degree notch and we want it you measure from this end
you want the very tip to get five inches
we're going to quick make a wine there
we're also going to come down and do the same thing
you don't have to do this if you're doing forty-fives I mean any of them
what you need
what I'm just trying to do is show you how little of material you can waste
when you actually the proper notch
you can do the math to determine the length but in this case measuring is
just as easy
looks like we are at seven inches
what we're going to do we're going to take our notch we had already here
find the center of the notch here to make a mark worth seven something we're
going to do next is loaded into the machine do another 45 i'll show you how
to make sure that it is exactly the right axis
yeah
doing a 45 on both ends you want to be cutting this way
so you're not just going to go in here and the tubes going to go in there
you're going to load it
what we're going to do we're going to grab another piece of tubing
we're gonna shove the other piece of tubing inside and we're going to get a
reading on the actual make sure we're level and that way the access is going
to be perfect
we're gonna set up exactly where we need that not to be
you can see the whole soul there is right next to with a 7 inch line was
we're just going to Snug this down for now and go back and take our measurement
again with the angle so we're level
we also add our line we're going to start this down will you
yeah
ok
we went in and actually bottom doubt on the hole saw itself you can do is you
can take an adjustable you can actually grab the end of it bend the peace out
break off the piece you notched and then go back and finish your not so what
we're going to do to make sure we check our work we have our wines the top and
bottom as you put it in making so that it goes right on that line you can see
down there
we looked it up it was exactly there so we got perfect top and bottom at a 45
degree angle and you can see that there is little to no gap all the way around
both pieces as we said before when you do this you want to have metal on metal
and not necessarily relying on your weld take that strength
you want the actual tubes pressing on the tubes as you can see we only did a
couple small tax on the first piece that being the case that once you do full
welding you're going to actually have some mortgage if you don't properly Gus
it
what you're building so we're going to put our piece back here at our
designated marks
what we're going to do is we're going to do a couple small tax in each place that
way you're going to get a little bit of strength
so then when you do to your final welding you're not going to have any
warpage if you're building a good race car chassis
you're going to do the faceless stitch weld in all throughout and they're going
to final welding that way there is an warpage throughout and you actually have
your your chassis go
you added square
yeah
ok
yeah
as you can see the eastwood professional to be not sure has the precision and the
capability you need for any project at hand when you're building a roll cage
for your race car and exhaust for your hot rod or go kart for your kid go to
