Pallet Notchers

NXL Notcher

The Go Fast NXL Single Head Notcher is a compact, heavy-duty notcher built for shops that need a simple, safe, and productive notching solution.

What sets the NXL apart is its 6-inch notching throat. Depending on material thickness, operators can notch up to four boards per cycle, giving this single-head machine strong production capability for its size. The NXL can also notch new material, recycled material, and 6-inch-wide cants, making it a versatile option for pallet shops and specialty sawmills.

The machine is designed with operator safety in mind. A safety pop-up guard conceals the cutter head when the machine is not in the cut, and the top hold-down gate helps prevent material from pushing up during the notching cycle.

For shops that want a compact, straightforward notcher with more capacity per cycle than typical small manual machines, the Go Fast NXL is a practical, heavy-duty option.

Recommended for: Low-Medium production plants running new or recycled pallet lumber.
