Preparing aluminum extrusions for corner joints often requires more control than a standard cutoff operation can provide. The PMI-14 CV-Type Notching Saw is built specifically for this work, combining opposing 45° cutting geometry with adjustable notch depth to remove material where profiles need to intersect or join. Its dedicated configuration gives fabricators a practical way to produce consistent notches in aluminum framing and extrusion components without relying on multiple manual cutting operations.
PMI-14 CV-Type Notching Saw Features:
The PMI-14 CV-Type is an aluminum corner notching saw developed for profiles that need material removed before joining or assembly. Its dedicated cutting arrangement allows fabricators to create repeatable notch geometry in aluminum framing and extrusion components rather than producing the required shape through several separate saw cuts.
Not every extrusion requires the same amount of material removal. The adjustable depth aluminum notching saw allows the cutting depth to be set for the profile and joint being produced, providing greater flexibility when moving between different extrusion shapes. This control is particularly useful when the notch must stop at a specific point rather than pass completely through the workpiece.
The 45 degree extrusion notch saw uses angled cutting geometry to prepare aluminum profiles for corner and intersecting joints. By maintaining the required cutting orientation within a dedicated machine, the PMI-14 CV-Type helps keep notch geometry consistent across recurring components while reducing the manual setup associated with producing these cuts on a general-purpose saw.

The Pat Mooney PMI-14 CV-Type Notching Saw is a semi-automatic twin-head V-notching saw for aluminum and non-ferrous profiles. Its operating format, head arrangement, and working range define where it fits within aluminum and non-ferrous production.
Two fixed 45-degree heads use 14-inch blades, individual 2-hp motors, 3,200 rpm blade speed, air-over-oil feed, and adjustable clamps. A front fence controls notch depth; published limits are 3.5-inch notch width and 7-inch material height. Final machine selection depends on the complete material range, profile geometry, required angles or features, finished length, tolerance, production volume, blade requirements, clamping, material support, and part handling.
Common applications include:
Two opposing 45-degree cuts create the V-shaped removal.
The front fence sets how far the profile enters the blade path.
The work zone accepts profiles up to the published height limit.
Both fixed-angle heads maintain consistent notch geometry across recurring parts.
An adjustable front fence establishes material position and therefore the depth of the V-notch.
Maximum notch width is 3.5 inches and maximum material height is 7 inches.
The C-Type removes a 90-degree corner section; the CV-Type creates a centered V-shaped notch controlled by the front fence.
The heads are fixed at 45 degrees, so the standard opposing cuts create a 90-degree V.
Notch depth, profile datum, wall thickness, material orientation, bend or joint requirement, and acceptable inside-corner condition determine the fence position.
