The SYNC Notcher™

The SYNC180 - The heart of the SYNC NOTCHING SYSTEM. It’s a quality built unit and proudly made in the USA . It’s a versatile tube notcher that is unlike most other holesaw-type notchers - it has the ability to cut at either side of the tube.

What’s so special about that is it gives you greater capabilities for angled notches, easier offset copes, angled copes and more.

Versatile capacities

60 degree notches
Most Notchers will only notch up to 50 degrees with limitations.
The SYNC Notcher, however, will handle a full 60 degrees in tubing up to 2"

Top loading self centering Jaws
Materials are easily top loaded* into the massive jaws of the SYNC180. The jaws are designed to perfectly center round tubing/pipe from 3/4 to 2-1/2 inch diameter and square tubing from 3/4 to 1-1/2 inch. Square tubing can also be held at 45 degrees (corner to corner).

Snap Collar Locators
So simple yet revolutionary! These collars make it simple to locate 90° and 180° from any point on the tube. find out more info

Centerline Finder
This innovative tool can help locate centerline of any tube size from 3/4" to 2-1/2". Knowing centerline is key in accomplishing a precise notch.. find out more info

Precision center drilling capabilities
Drill perfectly centered holes using a drill chuck (not included)

180° Quick Setup jig
Because the SYNC180 Notcher is capable of cutting from both sides of centerline, (thus allowing a holesaw to completely notch greater degrees), there is a precision degree scale indicating 0 to 60 degrees on both sides of the swing arm. But in addition we have created a jig that makes it rather simple to first cut on the one side and then quickly flip the swing bar around and finish the notch on the other side all the while staying perfectly aligned.
This jig is not always necessary to make precision notches but will make your notching life easier (and comes standard with the SYNC180).

Layout holding assistance
There are any number of ways to secure your tubing (if necessary) during layout. Sometimes you wish you had a third hand. We include three different tools to help with the process.

The brain of the SYNC NOTCHING SYSTEM.

The EASYNOTCH © calculators take all the guess work out of notching. Plug the figures in and up pops the answer to "where to start the notch?". Measure and mark accurately and you'll have a finished product that fits as good as anything a professional fab shop can do. No more cut and grind, cut and grind, cut and grind - and it's still not right!

EASYNOTCH © software calculates the correct overall length and trim length for diameters up to 2-1/2" and degrees up to 60. And it factors in wall thickness - which in turn gives you all the advantages of making the most precise notch and ready-to-weld piece possible.

What's new!

Thin Wall Independent Tube Support (TWiTS)

Notching thin wall tubing is now possible with the aid of TWiTS. Also great for securing short piece of tubing. View TWiTS

Maximize the notching capacity of your SYNCNOTCHER with our new Lift Kit

This optional accessory kit will increase the maximum usable size hole saw to 4”. Now smaller tubing can be coped to match larger sizes upwards to 4”. The kit will also increase the maximum holding capacity of the vise jaws from 2-1/2 to 3”. The SYNC180 is easily converted by simply installing the shims between the jaws and base plate. Bolts are included. View Syncnotcher Lift Kit

Featured Video "Fabbing a Grab bar"

In this video, we fabricate a grab bar. Although the SYNC180 was not designed to notch curved tubing, it does a pretty good job. View video

Fabtech 2008

We were proud to showcase the Sync180 tube notcher at the FabTech show in Las Vegas. Fabtech is North America's largest metal forming, fabricating, tube & pipe and welding trade show.
