JET Dual-Station Abrasive Pipe Notcher

The new JET dual-station abrasive pipe notcher does extra duty to maximize shop productivity and output. Its innovative two-station design provides quick and easy access to notching, grinding and deburring at three different work stations.

The abrasive pipe notcher is made to last with heavy-gauge steel construction throughout. This multitasking machine is engineered to notch pipe from ½ to 2½ in. diameter at the front station.  It is capable of notching angles from 90 to 30o by use of a multipositional hand lever vise.

Seven interchangeable rollers come standard and require no tools to install. Mandrel sizes include ½. ¾, 1, 1 ¼, 1½, 2 and 2 ½ in. Rollers are conveniently stored in an onboard compartment at the machine’s base.   

A forward/reverse switch changes belt direction, allowing the operator to switch from notching to standard grinding at the rear of the machine. For grinding large workpieces, a hinged top cover opens to provide access to the entire length of the 4 in. x 79 in. belt surface. Three replacement belts of 36, 60 and 80 grit and a belt guard come standard.

A safety shield and two 3 in. dust ports help direct sparks and debris away from the operator. The dust ports mount easily to a metalworking dust collector.  

The versatile abrasive notcher is powered by a totally enclosed, fan cooled, AC induction motor rated at 3 or 4 HP with a speed of 3,400 rpm. The machine is available in single or three-phase models to allow installation in different shop environments. 

A safety switch on the power key helps prevent accidental start-ups. The notcher is CSA/US certified. 

The JET dual-station abrasive pipe notcher-1Ph (756180) and dual-station abrasive pipe notcher-3 Ph (756185) are covered by a 2-year warranty, as well as JET’s RED Assurance.
