Notching with a MILL or MILL DRIlL Mount the NB100 into a vise and bolt onto the table to use your Mill as a notcher. With the X and Y travel of your table this makes for a very versatile way of notching. Easy to do offsets and other difficult copes.   

Notching with a DRILL PRESS. Mount the NB100 into a vise and bolt onto the table to convert your drill press into a notching machine. Since most shops have a drill press this is an economical and versatile way of setting up for notching. 

Notching with a LATHE. With the purchase of the NB100 Lathe Kit you can convert your lathe into a "notcher extraordinaire". Three-way axis movement makes notching so simple. 
 

In the following video, we use the NotchingBuddy™ with a
 JD2 TN100 tube notcher to cope a piece of curved tubing.
