I know I should probably just bite the bullet and buy a Mittler Bros or the Pro-Tools End Mill notcher (not a fan of the abrasive notchers personally), but what do you guys think of the new SWAG Lynx for a hole saw notcher alternative?

Seems the clamping system should be better than the JD2 Notch Master (I have it with the SWAG reach around and GOAT)....though the clamp hasn't really been much of an issue anyway.

Thoughts?
 
I have a JMR gen 1 and if I had to replace it with what you have mentioned it would be the SWAG. The versatility and adaptability to make a weird notch in a tight spot is where the JMR shines. I do like that the SWAG clamps on the center line for common tube size. Reversing cut angles on a center line would be nice.
EDIT- It looks like the SWAG can not center align the tube and saw, there is no adjustment. In that case, Id keep the JMR. I also wonder if the clamping chain would try to rotate the tube a little. Jaw style clamps don't have that chain rotation.

looks like a good system, also interested. I think the TMR was the one I w as looking at awhile back.
