In one of my old knife magazines a smith uses a 50 ton punch press to forge weld pure stainless pattern welded billets. I found the article in the Spring 2004 edition of Knives Illustrated. Terry LaBorde from Fallbrook, CA used a modified 50ton punch press to make pattern welded billets out of CPMT-440, ATS-34, and 316. Last edited by Sask Mark; 10-03-2008 at 01:00 AM.  |

| Good use for a Punch Press
I used my punch press for 1 job and converted it to a hydraulic press. It works real good because the ram dosen't wander when pressing hard. I used it for a job upsetting the end of 1 3/4" bars to make hinges and it saved me quite a bit of tired arms and time. I love it so far and it took me only a year to put together.
