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.

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).

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

The SYNC NOTCHING SYSTEM is more than just a high quality
tube notcher. With its innovative jigs and its unconventional approach to producing finished pieces with challenging angles, this puts the SYNC NOTCHER in a class by itself!

Even a novice can make a near perfect piece the very first time! View

The brain of the SYNC NOTCHING SYSTEM.
The EASYNOTCH © calculators take all the guess work out of notching. All you have to do is 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 - and it's still not right!
EASYNOTCH © software calculates the correct overall length or trim length for any diameter up to 2-1/2", any degree up to 60 and factors in wall thickness - which in turn gives you all the advantages of making the most precise notch and ready-to-weld piece possible.

The NotchingBuddy
An
add on which allows you to notch curved tubing. The
NotchingBuddy is a holding jig for securing bent or curved tubing for the primary purpose of notching but can also be used to hold bent tube for any number of tasks such as drilling, cutting etc. Holds straight tube too!

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

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.

designed to notch curved tubing, it does a pretty good job. View
