for bent tubing

or you can just make a posterboard template for the compound cut, trace it to your tubing and cut it out with a plasma or cutoff wheel

t

You could cut a "v" shaped notch out of the tubing and bend it and weld it back together.

I would make sure the weld is strong and then gusset both sides after it is done.

ya i dont really wana v it if i dont have to

On an episode of Monster Garage, When they are building the semi truck chopper they take some 2x4 metal and do small v shape cuts about1/2 inch to get a bend and weld all the cuts back up to get a bend to go to the semi wheel for the front of the semi truck chopper. If this is even what you are trying to do I don't know. But I would imagine you could look it up on the internet to see a picture of it. Hope this helps
