Tennsmith Heavy Duty Notcher
- The Tennsmith Model 16-18 notcher is a versatile, heavy duty bench tool for shearing, notching, and piercing work. The heavy cast iron construction allows the notcher to be used to side shear six inches of material to it's rated capacity; and the throat behind the upper ram is beveled on one side to permit long strips of material to pass without restriction. The large 12 inch by 18 inch worktable provides support for the material being worked.
- Notches of more than 90 degrees can be accomplished in two operations. The upper blades can be reversed for nose to heel cutting action; and the ram stroke can be controlled by means of two set screws to permit limited throat piercing and knockout operations. This notcher can be configured with flange blades for forming reinforced corners in boxes, pans, and chassis corners.
