Benefits

Clamp on a bend

The design of this tubing notcher tool quickly and securely clamps tubes on a bend, even while rotated. Only the VersaNotcher and the TN-250 tubing notcher can do this. All other tube notchers lack the design geometry to safely clamp on a bend when the tubing is rotated in the clamping jaws. A few notchers can clamp on a bend, but only when flat against a plate – the rest can’t clamp on bends.

Notch a wider variety of materials

The VersaNotcher is the only tube notcher we know of that works quickly and safely with such a variety of materials. It works on round tubes, square tubes (diamond and flat orientation), rectangular tubes, flat bars, angle iron, and C channel.

Adjust notching angles without tools

The VersNotcher cam locks make adjusting cutting angles quick and easy, without any need for additional tools. Bending jobs require less time and effort than with other tube and pipe notchers.

Precision ACME vise thread

The VersaNotcher tube notcher incorporates an ACME thread lead screw with a thrust washer (bronze) for reduced friction and enhanced durability. All well-made vises use ACME threads (with a square profile). These last longer and have low friction. Some pipe notcher tools use V threads, like a bolt, but these are not a long-lasting solution.

Features

The VersaNotcher also includes many other excellent features:

  • Pivots: Bronze bushings impregnated with Oil-Lite, case-hardened, polished axles.
  • Bend Angle indicator: CNC milled, marking each 2.5 degrees increment, with numbered 5-degree increments.
  • Offset indication: Shows 1/8″ Increments.
  • Shaft: 1″ OD 416 heat-treated, ground, polished, stainless steel, with dual hardened bearings.
  • Clamping interface: Lockable handle (quick-release) mounted on an ergonomic handwheel.
  • Finish: unpainted steel
  • Assembly: None required
  • Hole saws: Works with any standard hole saw on a standard drill arbor for making round cuts in pipes (RogueFab arbor included with VersaNotcher). All VersaNotcher models now come with a longer frame. This update enables the VersaNotcher to accommodate 3-inch deep hole saws.
  • Power: can be used with any 3/8″ or 1/2″ hand drill press.

Similar Product Warning – Another company makes a notcher extremely similar to the VarsaNotcher (identical bearing block design and adjustment, vise jaw shape and orientation identical, etc). This product was partially reverse engineered from a VersaNotcher purchased from us by that company. We discourage this kind of “copy design” process, as it isn’t good for either company, but it is up to you (the customer) who you want to patronize. Thank you.

    This notcher is awesome. I used it to build a bike frame out of 1.375 .045 wall tubing which very few notchers can do without crushing the thin wall tubing. Highly recommend

    Absolute BEST notcher on the market today!! I've owned numerous different notchers and nothing comes close to the Versa-Notcher. Stop wasting your time and money with cheap inferior products. Do yourself and your business a favor and get the Versa-Notcher.

    I am a big believer in you get what you pay for - so when it comes to tools, I don't mind paying for a premium product. For this instance, I was searching for an easy to use, well-made pipe notcher for my shop, and stumbled upon a few options. The cheaper options from ChinaFreight, Eastwood and Amazon were not going to cut it. I found the VersaNotcher through RogueFab's YouTube channel and instantly became a fan. The machined indexing and angle markings were a big selling point for me. Additionally, it has a good range for notching different sized tubing, and the set up was quick and easy. The overall construction of the VersaNotcher is beefy and built to last. I had a minor issue with my order but was immediately corrected with some help from Jarrod and Joe. An excellent piece of equipment with A+ customer service. I appreciate you guys and look forward to dealing with Rogue Fabrication in the near future!

    I purchased the Versa Notcher for a large aluminum handrail job we landed. Even with no prior notching experience, setup and operation was a breeze and it worked flawlessly for the 120 or so notches. Even one 3" hole saw from Rogue made it through the project. The construction of the versa notcher is top notch and I'm sure I'll get many years of good use out of it.

    One of the best purchases I've made period. The quality you get is well worth your money and if you do alot of notching then this will save you alot of time and the end result is a notch that you don't even have to grind. Can't wait to use it again.

    Again. We’re a small shop and we need a product we can depend on. After owning the M600 bender, I knew Rogue Fab was the name to trust when we needed a new notcher. The Versa Notcher proved itself on the first project. I couldn’t be happier with their products and will continue to order more in the future.

    This notcher is waaay better than other brands. It will clamp anything. You can raise the cut above or below center, plus you can cut any degree. On some of the max degrees, you will have to finish it by hand. But for the most part it will punch through all the way. The extended frame make this a lot easier. Plus you can get parts for this thing, making it a permanent resident in my shop.

    This notcher is a beast. The first project I used it for was notching over 200 tubes and it did it with ease. The CNC engraved angle degree marks make lining up cuts a breeze. If you're on the edge of whether it is worth the money or not I'll tell you it definitely is!

    I bought the versa notcher and I assembled it with ease and it notched everything I threw at it. A couple months later another package from RF came in the mail unexpectedly. It was the cam locks! I didn’t even know I was missing those but they made it right without me even contacting them. Great customer service!

    The versa-notcher rocks. The arbor assembly makes for really easy small cuts and the hole saw will not walk. 10/10 would recommend.

    I had another brand notcher that was more expensive an it just wouldn’t up to par about 3 months of use the shaft bearings wore loose it would jump around wouldn’t cut center or could notch in a bend I was recommended on this versa notcher an I do not regret it I wish I purchased it sooner I have a bender from another company an really considering selling it to get a rogue bender

    Definitely versatile. I have used this to notch just about every shape of tubing imaginable, even flat bar, at angles it's probably not even supposed to be used for. This thing is tough, I mounted it to a heavy wood bench and it works great. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good notcher. The built in angle notching marks are great, it can go 180 degrees so no need to be flipping tubing around ever to get just the right notch.

    Called up rogue fab as I’m local and put in my order for and xhd kit and the versa notcher they had it ready to go the next day. I’m brandnew to bending and I’ve already learned how amazing it is having a notcher that so easily clamps onto bends and you can adjust the heights etc to get the notch centered on the tubing. Seems to be extremely sturdy even when notching an odd piece of tubing being clamped on a bend. Don’t waste your time on a cheap notcher you’ll just end up spending more getting something of the quality of rogue fab in the near future.

    Bought this when I bought there model 600 bender about a year ago and it works great. the clamp holds tight and the angle gauge that is built into the unit is very accurate. makes even making weird notches pretty easy.

    Simple to use, angles are engraved right on the tool. Rock solid, makes notches that could almost be used without any clean up. More adjustment than you'll ever need. Pair this with a handful of quick change arbors and you'll be wondering why you didn't buy one of these sooner.
