What tonnage Ironworker Do I Need

Calculate the Edwards Ironworker Tonnage required for a clean punch based on hole size and steel thickness.

Selecting the right ironworker for your projects is critical. If you have an under powered punch, there are a couple of things which can happen.

You just might not be able to penetrate the material you are working with.
The punch may shatter and potentially cause damage to the project or injury to you.

“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!

Call Jason with questions 1-800-748-9068 I will recommend the right ironworker and see about getting you a good price.

Can Ironworker Punch 2 inch angle

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.

Ironworker in home workshop

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?
