OPERATION MANUAL
7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving
parts. Protective, non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when
working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
8. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles. Wear a full
face shield if you are producing metal lings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI approved dust
mask or respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical dusts and mists.

OPERATION MANUAL
1. This precision Pipe/Tube Notcher is a useful xture for your drill press, allowing you to make
round cuts in pipes and tubing of various shapes at any angle from 0° to 45° .
2. Sturdy and durable steel frame holds your workpieces rigid during operation.
3. Adjustable Angle Joint Plate (17#) is adaptable to any worktable, and is especially suited to
be mounted on a drill press.
4. The Adjustable Angle Joint Plate (17#) may be swiveled and rotated, which in conjunction
with the adjustable holder makes cutting compound angles very easy.
5. Works with any standard drill press, and is adaptable to use a large variety of round cutters,
hole saws, and milling bits.
WARNING: When using this Pipe/Tube Notcher with any powered tool, observe all safety
precautions relevant to that equipment. Refer to the owner’s manual of the power equipment
for safe practices in the use of attachments.
UNPACKING
This machine was carefully packaged for safe transport. When unpacking, separate all enclosed
items from packaging materials and inspect them for shipping damage. If items are damaged,
please contact your distributor.
NOTE: Save all the packaging materials until you are completely satised with the machine and
have resolved any issues with the distributor, or the shipping agent.
ASSEMBLY
1. The Spindle (7#) is shipped in the reverse position. Remove it and re-insert it in the correct
position prior to using the tool.
2. Your Pipe/Tube Notcher must be mounted to your drill press table, using the adjustable
angle joint plate (17#) Depending on the conguration of your drill press table, you may use
T-bolts, carriage bolts, or machine bolts, washers and nuts. (Hardware not supplied.)
3. After mounting, be sure that the Spindle (7#) travels smoothly without binding against the
Bushings (5#). Any undue friction will cause excessive wear of the Bushings (5#).
4. The angle of the Pipe/Tube Notcher can be adjusted by loosening the Bolts (16#) that adjust
the Adjustable Angle Joint Plate (17#), and moving the Assembly as necessary.
5. For side to side adjustments, adjust the Bolts (15#) that hold the Adjustable Angle Joint
Plate (17#) to the Body (13#).
6. When installing the hole saw, check rst to see if its arbor is 1/2” or 5/8”. The thread on the
spindle is for 1/2”, however, there is a Hole Saw Adapter (3#) for 5/8” thread that can be
screwed on over the 1/2”thread. You may need to use the Hole Saw Adapter Washer (4#) to
assure a good, secure t.
7. To install a saw blade or bit, rst x the Spindle (7#) in place with the Locking Pin (14#). Do
not use locking pliers or clamps to hold the Spindle (7#), as this will cause damage. Slide the
Locking Pin (14#) through the hole in the side of the Spindle Support (6#) and through the
Spindle (7#). Install the blade, then remove the Locking Pin (14#).
WARNING: Make sure the Locking Pin (14#) is removed prior to engaging the drill.
FEATURES

OPERATION MANUAL
OPERATION
1. Insert the tubing you wish to cut in the Clamp
Assembly (1#), underneath the inverted “V”. The
inverted “‘V” feature of the clamp will hold your
tubing (up to 2” long) in place. Do not insert the
tubing more than half of its length. When cutting
in severe angles, only insert the tubing far enough
to start the cut. Secure the tubing in place using
the Handle Clamp Screw Assembly (2#).
2. Set the speed of your drill press to approximately
500 rpm for most materials. When cutting thin
wall, hard alloy tubing such as chrome-molly,
higher speeds will be required. When cutting
softer, coarser materials, use slower speeds.
NOTE: Practice on scrap material before making cuts on
your work material.
3. As you work, lubricate the hole saw and bushings with cutting oil to extend service life.
4. When doing severe angle cuts with large diameter tubing, you will need to put the Spindle
Support (6#) in its uppermost position in order to accommodate its size. However, you
should always position the Spindle Support (6#) as low as possible to preserve accuracy.
To move the Spindle Support (6#), simply loosen the two Bolts (16#) that ax it to the Body
(13#) reposition and secure the Bolts (16#).
5. To adjust the angle of the clamp, loosen the Bolts (15#) that secure it to the Body (13#),
proceed to the desired angle on the Angle Indicator (10#), and re tighten the Bolts (15#).
6. When the tube is clamped in the Pipe/Tube Notcher and the angle is properly set, you can
proceed to cut the workpiece.
7. To remove the blade or bit, shut o the drill press, insert the locking pin (14#) into the
spindle support(6#), and remove the bit.
MAINTENANCE
1. Please observe good shop practices for your safety and to extend the work life of your tools.
2. Periodically brush away cuttings and debris from the Pipe/Tube Notcher, especially the
bushings and spindle area to avoid scoring or binding these components.
3. Use a suitable light grease on the bushings to prevent overheating and wear.
4. When cutting metal tubes, use plenty of cutting uid to prevent tool or material
overheating, and to remove cuttings from the work area.
5. Be sure to carefully align the drill press spindle and the Pipe/Tube Notcher spindle to
prevent binding.
6. After use, clean the Pipe/Tube Notcher, and apply a light lubrication to all moving parts and
unpainted metal to prevent rust.
7. Leave the Locking Pin (14#) in place in the Spindle Support (16#) when moving or storing
this xture.
8. Store the Pipe/Tube Notcher covered and in a dry, dust free place.
9. Help avoid injury by preventing access to this tool by unauthorized persons and children.
