notcher
One who carves indentations
A notcher is a tool or machine for cutting notches—V-shaped or rectangular indentations—into material like metal, wood, or leather.
In metalworking, notchers cut corners from sheet metal before bending.
The term also applies to a person who cuts notches: The notcher marked each completed delivery on his tally stick.
