how to make tube gussets???

[sucmah]

I am talking about gussests on my cage that are pieces of bent tube. I have seen some trick stuff in pics where builders use another peice of tube to gusset a 90degree junction. the gusset tube has a real long cope to it and my notcher cant do that. ANy ideas?

only way i can think of is to hand fit em...lot of work for cosmetic reasons.

Notch it from both sides? (See "FiFo's Short bus build" in the garage section)

Or get a tool called a pipe master. I think it's called that. Yup, here. http://www.pipemastertools.com/

Use that to make your initial fit, plasma cut out what you dont want and then grind to fit.

use a cut off wheel, and if its a small piece grab it with visegrips or a vice... dont cut your fingers off.
