Our newest tube notcher to fill the gap between the TNE-50 an TNE-75.

The TNE-65 is a bench mounted tube notcher with a capacity of 75mm (3") notches in 75mm (3") tube. The arbor has vertical adjustment to enable offset notching up to 40mm with easy to read etched markings.

A nice feature that you can see from the overhead photos, is the ability to notch left 50° and also right 50°. For certain types of notches, for instance, where you are introducing a notch into a corner of 2 other tubes (seen in multi point roll cage bracing) and want to produce an "arrowhead" notch this feature saves time as the tube does not need to be rotated 180 degrees for the 2nd notch.

The arbor is a full 25mm (1") ground shaft running in needle bearings. The quadrant marking are very accurately print etched for ease of use. There are 4 options for placement of the arbor block for perfect positioning of the holesaw against the workpiece depending on angle and tube size.

Lastly, the vice has removeable inserts and optional extra square inserts are available in various sizes for customers requiring notches in metric and imperial box section. These can be found under a different sub category.

The TNE-65 has been produced to fill that gap between the entry level tool and the more expensive billet machined products. Some parts have been laser cut rather than machined to bring manufacturing costs down but the product is a solid, full size, heavy duty tool.

As with all our hole saw tube notchers, we recommend using an 18v lithium ion drill on the slow setting at 1/3 to 1/2 trigger, aiming for approx.250rpm. Also use Rocol RTD or similar tapping / cutting oils to half cutting temperature and never use WD40. Rocol is available from Stakesys or other outlets. We also sell fine tooth 8/12tpi German made hole saws which produce a very clean cut, necessary for a good weld.
