Sorry... I just thought you could save a little money if you saw what can be done with cheap notcher. I've had this one for two years and have done around a hundred notches with it and it still works fine.
Spend the money I guess but two hundred bucks for a notcher? Not for me my friend...

Mark: I've been following your build, and you do really nice, professional looking work, and I've commented to that effect in your gallery. I think in this case he just has a few extra bucks and wants to treat himself to something. I do the same thing on payday when I have no other bills due......I walk through HF or Sears trying to find something to buy that I can't live without.

PS: Your shop is also cleaner than my living room.

So your saying a 30 dollar notcher will work as good and last as long as a 200 dollar tubing notcher?Don't get me wrong though,your joints look good.If that 30 dollar notcher is made in the USA ,with superior parts,I will take a look at it ,but I think Harbor Freight stuff is cheaply made.I need a rigid tool,good old american ,quality stuff.
