Baileigh TN-200M Manual Tube Notcher
The Baileigh TN-200M is a heavy duty manual pipe notcher designed to create perfect 90-degree notches in large diameter pipes and tubes, giving you professional quality results without the need for power tools or complex setups.
When you need to notch larger pipes but don't want the complexity or cost of powered equipment, the TN-200M delivers the perfect solution. This is Baileigh's most capable manual notcher, specifically engineered to handle 1.5" and 2" schedule 40 pipe with ease. What sets this tool apart is its intelligent mechanical advantage system. The long three piece handle connects to a precision cam mechanism that multiplies your effort, letting you create clean, accurate notches in heavy-wall pipe without breaking a sweat or deforming the material.
Built with a fully machined steel housing and equipped with high chromium blades, this notcher is designed to last for years of demanding use. The robust construction ensures your notches stay accurate job after job, while the premium blade material holds its edge far longer than standard cutting tools. Despite its heavy duty capabilities, the TN-200M remains surprisingly portable at just 16 kilograms, making it ideal whether you're working at your bench or need to take it out to a job site.
Every Baileigh notcher comes backed by a one year parts warranty and lifetime technical support. That means if you ever have questions about technique, maintenance, or troubleshooting, experienced Baileigh representatives are just a phone call away. You're not just buying a tool; you're gaining access to decades of fabrication expertise.

Key Features & Benefits
- Mechanical Advantage Cam System: The three-piece handle and cam mechanism work together to multiply your force, so you can notch heavy-wall schedule 40 pipe without excessive effort or material deformation. This means less fatigue and more consistent results throughout your workday.
- Dual Capacity Design: Handles both 48.3mm (1.9") and 60.3mm (2.375") diameter tubes, plus 38.1mm (1.5") pipe. This versatility means one tool covers multiple common pipe sizes, saving you money and workshop space.
- High-Chromium Cutting Blades: Premium blade material stays sharper longer than standard steel, giving you clean cuts and reducing maintenance downtime. You'll spend more time fabricating and less time sharpening or replacing blades.
- Fully-Machined Steel Housing: Unlike cast housings that can develop play over time, the precision-machined steel construction maintains tight tolerances for years. Your notches will be just as accurate on day 1,000 as they were on day one.
- True 90-Degree Notching: Creates perfectly perpendicular cuts that fit together seamlessly for superior weld joints. No gaps, no grinding, no filler rod waste trying to bridge poor fits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the TN200M handle stainless steel pipe?
Yes, the high-chromium blades and robust cam system are designed to notch stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum pipes up to schedule 40 wall thickness. The mechanical advantage of the cam system provides sufficient force for harder materials without excessive effort.
Do I need any additional tools or equipment to use this notcher?
No, the TN-200M is a complete standalone tool. Unlike drill press notchers that require additional equipment, this manual notcher includes everything you need. Just secure it to your bench or a stable surface and you're ready to work.
How do I maintain the blades and keep them sharp?
The high-chromium blades are designed for extended life and will handle hundreds of notches before requiring attention. When sharpening is eventually needed, you can use a fine file or grinding wheel to restore the cutting edge. Regular cleaning and light lubrication of the cam mechanism will ensure smooth operation.
Is this suitable for beginners or just experienced fabricators?
The TN-200M is excellent for users at all skill levels. The mechanical design does most of the work for you, and the fixed 90-degree angle eliminates guesswork. Beginners will appreciate how it helps them achieve professional results, while experienced fabricators value its speed and reliability.
Can I mount this permanently or is it meant to be portable?
You have both options. Many users bolt it permanently to their workbench for convenient access, while others appreciate the portability for field work. At 16kg, it's heavy enough to be stable during use but light enough to move when needed. Mounting holes in the base allow for secure bench installation if desired.
