Tennsmith Metal Notcher (16 Gauge)

The Tennsmith notcher, Model 16-18, is a versatile, heavy-duty bench tool for shearing, notching and piercing work. The heavy cast iron construction allows the notcher to be used to side shear 6 inches of material to its rated capacity; and the throat behind the upper ram is bevelled on one side to permit long strips of material to pass without restriction. Notches of more than 90° can be accomplished in two operations. The upper blades can be reversed for a “nose to heel” cutting action, and the ram stroke can be controlled by means of two set screws to permit limited throat piercing and knockout operations.
