A notching machine including a first cutting stage which makes four vertical cuts in the stringer, the outer two cuts defining the sides of the notch. The second cutting stage of the machine makes a horizontal cut which first separates a portion of the stringer between the inner two cuts thereby allowing the drive shaft of the second-stage cutting blade to pass through the partially formed notch and cut away the remaining portions of the stringer between the outer two cuts to define the notch.
