Punch press can be used for texturing and incising stock cold or hot. you will need to make an adjustable lower tool holder. You could probably make rivets like there is not tomorrow with the punch press.
It will work similar to a large fly press. You must take precautions to not exceed the capacity of the press; it must complete its stroke.
I have a large Trumpf nibbler which is similar to a continously running punch press. There is a version of my machine called a
"co-ordinated copy punch press" it operates like a nibbler but has a single stroke mode; I would love to have it.
