How To Notch With The Ultra Notcher 

Cutting Wax instead of Oil.....less mess, easy to clean up, and far far less smoke.... .LPS Tapmatic Edge is the brand I prefer , like candle wax when it melts..... Hougen makes a cutting wax for use with their annular cutters, but it is more like a very thick grease, but not oily ...... I use the LPS wax for drilling, tapping, and cutting with chop saws and band saws.... on aluminum it will give an unbelievable smooth cut compared to no wax.... and on steel/stainless, it gives more life to the blade and you can actually feel in the bit, tap, or saw the difference it makes....hope this helps, from an old fabricator down in Orlando, Paul

great explanation this old man keeps learning new things great info maybe i get my hole saw to last

Thank you for sharing the proper technique. I’ve been struggling with my hand me down notcher. I’ve been going full power oops🤷‍♂️

This is a great tutorial! Nice work.

Excellent explanation. I have burned up my share of hole saws... Thank you for the info!

i was one of those exact customers (with the Versa) that you mention having the absolute worst success with 2" .120 4130 tube. New red hole saws or new milwalkee bi metals would have one great cut just like you in video, 2nd cut starts going downhill fast about halfway through the cut when it just wants to slip along the 2nd half of the cut and start to smoke er up. DOM .120 is no problemo whatsoever. hole saws last for 50-60 cuts easy. I am very experienced notching and have had your versa in shop for almost 4 years now. so not technique at all. I was also told at that time that the new black hole saws were coming out soon, and you guys even were nice enough to send me one of your first few black ones, a 1 3/4" and a 2". Sadly they were very off center and crazy wobble/unusable. I was told that the first ones you guys had didnt get some the weighted puck bases welded in line with the rest of the hole saw. I was told that I would get 2 new ones sent when you got the dialed in real batches that would be for sale. This was maybe a year or so ago and never received any. Not that this is your guys bad cause I never really checked back in ever either. But ever since we have not used your guys notcher in our shop for anything 4130. I would love to be able to give these black ones a try now that they have been around for a while. Is there anyone that I should talk to about possibly getting a couple to give it another go? I did love how they had all that weight feel to em. If all is good now we would be down to get back on the Rouge Fab hole saw game for our shop hole saws. Thanks
