I found that using the "tubermiter" program, to draw and print a template worked really well. I used a thin (0.8mm thk) curtting disc in an angle grinder and was easily able to cut good notches at all sorts of angles for welding up my roll bar and stays.

(search google for tubemiter and you'll find a download site)

Plus carriage plus a set of holesaws? It only goes to 45 degrees as well.
