[QUOTE="dmtfabrication, post: 554627, member: 6825"] I used to use a pro-tools basic notcher, bought it in '03 and built my first buggy with it and a few bumpers and sliders. It was built with the hole saw not centered with the vise. I was able to shim it close, but was never happy with it. I used it for years though, bench mounted with a 1/2" drill. They have redesigned and improved on the old one. I was looking at the JD2 Notchmaster after reading tons of good reviews on Pirate. JD2 came out with the Beast while I was in the market so I bit the expensive bullet. While not nearly as expensive as the Mitler Bros milling notcher or any of the commercially available belt grinders, it seemed like a superior tool to for a reasonable price when compared to the Notchmaster. Baileigh had not released the TN-250 at that time and in retrospect, I would have gone that route. I was skeptical on their vise, but after seeing one in person I was sold. Although I never bought one, I would recommend the Baileigh TN-250 over the JD2 Beast. The Beast will allow for a ton of versatility, but sometimes requires some creativity on clamp placement and aligning the work piece with the hole saw axis.
