Cheers for the link, but I try to avoid them if possible as their prices are generally higher, but I will use them if I can't do better
elsewhere.

Do you have a drill stand ?
One of these, a hole cutter and a jig for holding the pipe is all that's really required.

Probably not the best quality, but

Sort of thing which given access to a mill/lathe you could make yourself in an hour.
Then again, if you had access to a mill you could notch your own pipes too.

Ordered from Demon. Cost £89.10 delivered, including vat.
I needed it as my next project will be an exposed chassis and a lot of it will be tig welded and on show.

I know I bought one, didn't even think about Demon Tweaks having them, at least the quality is excellent
I'm now depressed

The problem with the cheap ones, is that they use an electric drill to spin the hole saw. And, a leccy drill just does not turn slow enough.
A 1" holesaw only needs about 300-400 rpm, at most. My experience has shown me that 150-200 is OK. Lube with WD40 or cutting fluid.
Then there is the problem with drills trying to break your wrists when they jam!
Holesaw in a drill stand or mill, or a side and face cutter in the lathe or mill, are the better ways of doing the job.
Cheers,
Syd.

The one from Demon can be bolted via the foot onto a drill press.
