Want an American made punching machine that is compact well designed, well built, and uncomplicated? These iron workers offer the biggest tonnage per dollar for your fabrication shop. Most of them work on the same principal with the center pulling straight down on the work. The tooling moves vertically, with no arc of a pivot arm. Most models come standard with a punching station, flat bar shear, angle iron shear, and often a coper-notcher. They operate so you can move from punch to plate shear to angle shear to notcher without always changing equipment. Many different sizes and styles of punch & die sets are available such as round, oblong slot, square, rectangle, keyhole, etc. Many kinds of optional tooling is available (coper-notcher, press brake, pipe notcher, angle notcher, rod shear, gaging table, back gauge, multi-hole punching and even radius notching). Scoll down to see our many tool options. These Ironworker machines are shipped ready to operate with hydraulic oil, blades and punches. All you have to do is connect the electricity. Optional 220 volts, single phase electrics available for most machines at $500 extra except 120 ton and 100 Deluxe. 440/480 volts costs extra. Optional Pipe & Tube Bender attachment and optional Hydraulic Shop Press attachment available.
