Makes for a much easier job for those of us without the talent to cut saddles right the first time.
Has anyone used these?
They would cut down on cutting and grinding.
But you would have to weld twice as much!
So... win win right!

The difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference.
I have never found cutting saddles that bad, especially using the chop saw method. I have also built a pipe smasherfor my press that squashes 2" pipe down to about 1 1/4", makes for easy welding.

Tried being normal once, didn't take....I think it was a Tuesday.
What is this chop saw method you speak of?

With a chop saw you cut 2 angles about 30 degrees. Pirate 4x4 has a good article on this with different cut angles for different sizes.
Bicycle builders have been using these lugs for many years with some great results. That said, if the cost is the same to the customer, I would still notch myself to get the money for time instead of material.
