Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this notcher with pipes made from different materials?
Absolutely! The TN-125M works with various materials including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other common metals used in fabrication. Just ensure your pipe falls within the specified diameter range.
Do I need special tools to mount this to my workbench?
No special tools required. Standard mounting bolts (included) and basic hand tools are all you need to secure the TN-125M to your bench. The compact footprint means it won't take up much space in your workshop.
How does manual operation compare to powered notchers?
Manual operation gives you complete control over the notching process and eliminates the cost and maintenance of powered equipment. For fabricators working with the supported pipe sizes who don't need high-volume production speeds, manual notching is reliable, quiet, and highly effective. You'll appreciate the simplicity when working on job sites or in locations without power access.
Will this notcher work for pipe sizes outside the specified range?
The TN-125M is specifically designed for 26.7mm, 33.4mm, and 42.4mm tubes. Using pipe sizes outside this range may result in inaccurate notches or potential damage to the tool. For different sizes, Baileigh offers other models in their notcher lineup, including the TN-50M for smaller pipes and the TN-200M for larger diameters.
How do I maintain this tool for longterm use?
Maintenance is straightforward. Keep the cutting surfaces clean and free from debris, occasionally lubricate moving parts, and store in a dry location. The solid steel construction means there's very little that can wear out with normal use. If you ever need replacement parts or have maintenance questions, Baileigh's lifetime technical support is just a phone call away.
