Gen 2 Tube Notching Machine (Kit)
Gen 2 Tube Notching Machine (Kit)
This second gen design got an upgrade! We based this version off of the floor mount Central drill press.
Still works with original 10 inch drill press! Extra mounting holes are provided for those who want to use that press.
More horsepower! Up from 5/8 to 3/4 HP.
More head travel! Up from 2 inch to 3 inch. This means no more having to index the machine to make deep cuts.
Comes with a stand already. We recycled the supplied stand. Saving time and money.
This new version is all around better! Total build cost 350-550$ depending on what drill you buy!
Kit comes with:
1 main plate
1 notcher gusset
1 tube support
1 U-bolt
Check Facebook market place and Ebay used drills can be found there. One of our customers put this whole kit together from used and discount items and stayed under $200!!!
