How do you cut notches?



We're having a bit of a debate in the forum on how you should cut notches. Obviously, we're talking about multiple plies, not single or double layers.



The central question is, can -or should- you use your main cutting tool to cut notches? Those using a round knife have figured out this doesn't work. Being round, the blade doesn't cut far enough into the top or bottom layers and can nick too deeply into central layers. So, the question becomes, do you switch to a knife and use that for general cutting and notching, or do you buy a stand alone notching tool?
