Why Choose Scotchman Manual Notchers

When it comes to selecting metal fabrication tools and equipment for notching tube and pipe, fabricators need machines that perform reliably without adding unnecessary complexity to their workflow. Scotchman manual pipe notchers and grinders are fast to set up, straightforward to operate, and built to last through years of daily shop use.

Every manual pipe notcher in the Scotchman lineup is backed by our industry-leading three-year parts warranty, a level of coverage that reflects the quality of construction behind each machine. The compact, portable design of models like the AL1 means they can be bench-mounted or wall-mounted to fit virtually any shop layout, keeping your workspace efficient and your tools accessible where you need them.

For shops already running a full complement of metal fabrication tools and equipment, a Scotchman manual tube notcher integrates seamlessly into an existing fabrication workflow. It handles the detail work that other machines can't: tight-fitting saddle notches on railings, roll cage tubing, furniture frames, and structural pipe that need to be right the first time, reducing rework and improving overall efficiency.

This is where it's at y'all. I'm a self confessed tool snob and I'm not gonna get all chatty kathy on this page about products I don't count on everyday, I'll say this, Scotchman Ind. has exceeded every expectation I had in deciding to go with them. Durability, customer service, and quality are superb. Homegrown business making machines in the U.S.A. Also, and you can disagree with me if you like, they don't post up fake and artificially enhanced women at FABTECH to sell Ironworkers. That fact alone heavily swayed my opinion to go with Scotchman. If you gotta use silicone to sell machines you've put your company culture and marketing interests in the wrong place.

After seeing the demonstration on the truck we were sold. Having the variable speed and auto-feed has really helped our production. Great machine - Great service.

We purchased a Scotchman CPO 350 LT Cold Saw & 6509-24M Ironworker one year ago. These machines have been one of my best investments! Our business has grown in size and volume, necessitating moving to larger facilities. We plan to purchase another ironworker, the Scotchman DO120, and an additional cold saw in the near future. Scotchman has allowed us to more than double our production.

This machine sure saves a lot of time. I thought my plasma table was fast for things like this (shearing 3 x 1/4 x 12" brackets), but this ironworker is much faster. I love this ironworker and my CPO 350 saw, both excellent pieces of equipment.

Quality over quantity. I chose Scotchman because I wanted a saw that would last and not need to be continually upgraded. Since getting a CPO 350 saw with measuring system, I can make multiple parts with almost NO variance. Plus, the angle capability has cut my framework in half and the 45° cuts are accurate. Also, having a burr free finished cut is a time saver with prep. Scotchman is one of the few companies I can call and actually speak to a person every time, not a voicemail, and I really appreciate that.
You are correct about the Scotchman Cold Saw and what a piece of art she is. Its running like a Champ.

We recenty bought a saw from your company. We are sure glad we bought your American made saw. Today, we cut up more material than we could have ever imagines (even with a tempory helper of which I am sure it was his first time running a saw!). Thanks again for making America look good. We still can make the best stuff out in the world!

We were going through two blades a day with our other brand of saw cutting stainless catalytic converter housings. We purchased this Scotchman upon recommendation from our dealer in Atlanta. The difference in the speed and efficiency of the cutting cannot be compared to our old saw. It has improved our output tremendously and we could not be happier!

Excellent saw! Straight & quick cuts through both mild and tool steel.

If you are looking for excellence, then look no further. If thousands of HS students can learn on these machines and not break it... then it's a SOLID product!!
I have built a HS Welding/Ag Mech program up from nothing by using Scotchman products. I have taught kids to run two bandsaws, a cold saw and an ironworker during the past decades.  My students and I are proud to support Scotchman as the best in the game, and our top choice in the metal fabrication equipment arena!!
