Something to keep in mind when selecting punches is to make sure you use the right punch for the purpose. A common use for a punch is to make holes for attaching bolts to a second work piece. If this hole is for a bolt you should use a punch 1/16″ larger than the bolt you plan to use. This will make sure that the bolt will go through the hole without problems. So for a 1/2″ hole you should use a 9/16th punch.

Can a 55 Ton Ironworker punch a standard oblong hole 13/16″ x 1″ is a 5/16″ thick piece of A36 material ?
Yes it can.
55 Ton Ironworker question.
This question had to do with punching a 1/2 inch hole in 2 inch angle iron. The angle iron is 1/4 inch thick.
Upon going to another shop where there was an ironworker our contact was told that a die mounting nut would get in the way of the punch.
The solution is to punch the hole with the opposite leg of the angle iron hanging down from the front of the standard “pedestal die table”. If that does not quite work there are available offset dies from Edwards Ironworker as an alternative.
The 25 Ton Edwards Ironworker is at home in a small fab shop or even an home metal shop. It makes some projects just that much easier. Punching though supports is quicker than drilling. With the second, open station, you can expand the capabilities of the unit quite a bit. Buy and add a bar shear. Swap that out with an angle shear or a press break or a notcher. You can accomplish a lot with a unit that will work in just about any environment.
Anyone out there with a small ironworker on their home shop?

Calculate the Edwards Ironworker Tonnage required for a clean punch based on hole size and steel thickness.
“What size ironworker do I need for my punch operation?”
Keep in mind the punch diameter cannot be smaller than the thickness of the material to be punched. You will break your punch and a shattered can be hazardous!
