Baileigh Sheet Metal Notchers FAQs

What gauge of steel can these notchers handle?

Capacity depends on the model. The SN-F16-FN and SN-F16-HN handle up to 16 gauge, the SN-F11-AN handles 11 gauge, and the SN-F09-MS, SN-F04-MS, and SN-V04-MS cut through 9 and 4 gauge steel.

What is the difference between a fixed angle and variable angle notcher?

Fixed angle notchers cut a set 90 degree corner every time. The SN-V04-MS uses a variable angle head that adjusts from 30 to 140 degrees, so you can notch corners at odd angles without switching machines.

Do I need electric power, or can I use a manual notcher?

Manual models like the SN-F16-HN work without power for lighter gauge steel. For thicker steel or higher volume work, air and hydraulic models such as the SN-F11-AN, SN-F09-MS, and SN-F04-MS give more cutting force with less operator effort.

What else do I need for a metal fabrication shop besides a notcher?

Many shops pair a notcher with an ironworker for punching and shearing, or a tube and pipe notcher for round stock. See our Baileigh Ironworkers and Baileigh Tube & Pipe Notchers collections.
