I guess I don't understand the question. Clamp the tubing in place before using the hole saw. The hole saw should only be used on a drill press or similar machine. I would NEVER put it on a drill. There is far too much pressure and you'll break your wrist. If your grinding the tubing put it in a vise. I hope that answers your questions bro.

I use mine in my floor model drill press only. I would never use it on just a drill.

it goes from about -3 degrees to +45 degrees.
thats plenty for the parts Im making.

Cool, I'll have to get me a drill press soon.. any suggestions? Something affordable but good quality?

I've seen tubing notchers that work like a sheet metal shear..They have a blade and you pull on the handle and it cuts the part out..no drilling..I think theyre old school but they seem like what I would like to have..anyone know where to get one of these?
