Poor picture, but looking at it the backing plate looks to be ver thin, I think there will be a fair bit of flex. I would go for a stakesys, same price once you've paid Duty and VAT, if not less

A hacksaw and file is a lot cheaper

...and a lot slower

That second one there, the Pro Tools "Racer" Tube Notcher looks the dogs! I wish I could spend that amount of money on a notcher!

 

[Shox Dr]

Their Beast is far better, and the same money.

I have a PDF of The Chopper Builders Handbook Notcher. Built one a while back, leant it out to be never seen again.

The CBH site has been down for sometime now. The plans were/are freely available, but not easy to find these days.

If I can figure a way of uploading them to here, in the Gallery* so people can then Download them I will


*and Malcolm has no problems with that

I can host the documents on a server if needed (and allowed).

That Beast notcher is pure pr0n. I didn't look at it at first, but yeah, it's better than the "Racer" (for vice mounting).

A hacksaw and file is a lot cheaper

Angle grinder and a flap discs is almost as cheap and 1000x faster.

Are you sure it's a notcher Dr S? ... looks more like a bender to me. Good though!
