Punching with a shop press
This works awesome. I made a stop that fits in the last hole punched & it adjusts from a little under 1.5" to over 12" spacing. I punched all the channel for the project I am working on in less time than it took to fab this toy up. I really want to do more railings now.- osweld

Punching with a shop press
Here's a picture of the setup so far. I have punched a few holes with it. As long as I don't raise the head to far it is about 3-4 seconds per cycle. I haven't bolted it to the plate yet. I am going to make guides for sliding the channel in & a stop to keep the hole spacing the same. Not...- osweld

Punching with a shop press
I have a used unipunch & new punch die set ordered. I got a new air over hydraulic jack & made a knob for the pressure release. Now I dont have to mess with the jack handle at all.- osweld

Punching with a shop press
I hope I can find a real ironworker in my budget someday. But until then I will keep using what I've already got. If I can make a slow ironworker out of my shop press thats better than no ironworker at all. I already made a 6" brake for it. By the time I get done making tooling for my press...- osweld

Punching with a shop press
Its just a 20 ton press & I am going to get an air over hydraulic jack if I do this. I would rather get an ironworker but can't seem to find one in my price range of less than $2000. One job I may need it for I need to match an existing fence channel which is 1x1/2x1/8 with hole on 4 3/8...- osweld

Punching with a shop press
I have have a couple railing jobs for a regular customer & I dont have a punch. I have checked how much to get pre-punched channel or have another shop punch it for me but I would rather do the punching myself. I came across Unipunch which are mainly for use in press brakes but I think they...- osweld
