   Getting back to the original idea.   
      
   By using a commercial or commercial like welding table as the base:   
   1.  You don't have to make a base plate.   
   2.  You can adjust the distance between the cutting spindle and the tube   
   vise without loosing your angle.   
   3.  The base plate (table) is going to be flatter than the typical bent   
   and welded base plate that comes with many tube notchers.   
   4.  Its an out of the box solution that will produce quality repeatable   
   results without spend half your day cobbling up a makeshift solution.   
      
   I've spent way to much of my mental budget thinking about this, and I   
   have solutions for tables with different dog hole sizes and grid pattern   
   spacing.  To a limited extent even for tables with erratic grid spacing,   
   but maybe not for tables with radically erratic dog hole sizes.  LOL.   
      
   Making the spindle fit multiple tables is easier than making the vise do   
   so, but both are possible.  You still have the same accuracy (more or   
   less) as the grid itself.
