OVERALL
1. Figure 1 is an overall view of the tube notcher.
2. For ease of shipment, the tube notcher is shipped with the tube vise rotated 180º and locked at
that position. See Figure 2.
MOUNTING
3. To mount the tube notcher on a work surface/stand, the tube vise must be removed from the
base.
4. Remove the four 3/8" Allen bolts from the bottom of the tube vise.
CAUTION
DO NOT clamp the base of the notcher in vise.
Clamp only using the optional mounting block. See Figure 3.
5. Mount the tube notcher base. The tube notcher can be mounted on a work surface using the
three 3/8-16 bolts in the base as shown in Figure 3.
NOTE
If the tube notcher is mounted directly to a work surface, access
to the tube vise positioning bolts will be limited.
6. The tube notcher may also be mounted using the optional mounting block which can be welded
to a stand (or similar) and mounted using three 5/16-18 bolts as shown in Figure 3.
7. A mounting kit (NMT100) or a complete stand (NS100) is available separately thru JMR
Manufacturing to mount the notcher.
OPERATION OF THE TUBE NOTCHER
8. To position the tube vise to the proper notch angle:
•
Loosen the large nut on the bottom of the tube notcher.
•
Rotate the tube vise to the desired position using the protractor on the cutter head base.
See Figure 2.
•
Tighten the large nut on the bottom of the tube notcher.
NOTE
Always move the cutter towards the tube vice for the best
performance of the hole saw and the tube notcher. See Figure 2.
4. Mount the desired hole saw on the end on the cutter shaft. The tube notcher is supplied with two
adapters, one for saws that mount using a 1/2-20 adapter and one 5/8-18 adapter.
