Uses
Sheet metal notcher tools (like flange tools, iron notchers, hand notchers, bench notchers, corner notchers, pipe notchers, trace-a-punches and vent notchers) are manufactured for accurate cutting, bending and working on metal sheets, pipes and tubes. These sheet metal notchers are used for creating boxes, brackets, trays that are further employed for plumbing, construction and other industrial works.
Features
- Sheet metal notchers come equipped with a lever handle or foot pedal to operate their cutting blades.
- Also called corner notchers, sheet metal notchers are generally employed to remove the corners of leave flaps and sheets that can be folded to form boxes, pans and trays.
- The lower blades of these sheet metal notchers can be reversed and sharpened for longer use.
- Sheet metal notchers also feature triangular ram that controls cutting head alignment to provide precise cuts in boxes, chassis, and panel blanks.
- Manual notchers usually notch lighter-gauge sheet metal than air-powered and corded models.
Working Mechanism
Sheet metal notchers come in varied configurations and functions. These sheet metal notchers can be powered by hydraulic or electric mechanisms, while others can be controlled by hand. Sheet metal notchers, in the same way, can maximise different sizes of blades, permitting them to be efficient in processing a broad range of metal types. Apart from notching, sheet metal notchers can also be employed for different metalworking processes like corner shearing, box forming and dovetailing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are air-powered notchers?
Air-powered notchers operate on compressed air to power their cutting blades and make notches in sheet metal. These pneumatic notchers run cooler and have a longer lifespan than electric notchers.
What is the purpose of a corner notcher?
A corner notcher is typically a sheet metal working equipment employed to cut out a 90-degree section with a V-shaped blade. The corner of a metal sheet is to be cut out to offer clearance when the two sides may be folded, such as in a shallow box or tray.
What is a manual sheet metal notcher?
Manual sheet metal notchers come with a foot pedal or a lever handle that drive their cutting blades. The lower blades of these sheet metal notchers can be easily sharpened and reversed for prolonged use. These sheet metal notchers have a triangular ram that controls cutting head alignment to provide precise cuts in chassis, boxes and panel blanks.
