Cool

Pullmax's are great. We had one in the sheetmetal shop. We cut large circles in 1/8" SS plus formed up edges with it. I will look around and see if i can find you a link for a book...Bob

fwiw,
here's a link to a site with some info.

C. Cook Enterprises - Pullmax Machines

Wish I'd have found this before I made a lot of the tooling.
Look under Pullmax machine.......for Pullmax dies and accessories. That should give you some ideas for making your own tooling.

I also did a search on Ebay for pullmax. might be a source for a manual. There was one for $45, but it was for a P9.

Thank you Bob and Bill for your input.


Please look at the front of the machine and observe that the lever arm at the top is missing. This lever it would appear sets the stroke or similar for the tooling. I need to get that sorted out so any comments from you would be appreciated.

Although I am a little late on this thread I also use a pullmax .... actualy a trumpf. A similar machine but has many superior features.

I have some info on other items that can be made in a nibbler.

Nibbler

This spindle is made entirely with a pullmax P5.

My nibbler is my bread and butter machine I use it for a lot of applications.
