Larry H Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 my son is gearing up and has an "opportunity" to buy an old EE Garvin punch press, it has a fixed die to punch only 1/2" sq holes. I used to work in a punch factory, (50 machines ) and I think my senile old brain remembers "shoe dies " so we could change punch and die sizes in the same unit. I have a load of H4 punches and dies, anyone have an old piece of something laying around that I can modify ? The clearance of the machine is 6 3/4" from base to ram. I'm not sure what size the whatchamacallit on the top is ( maybe its a 1 1/2" goezinta ) The present piece has been welded and I'm not at liberty to disassemble it until he buys it,( or doesn't ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstermetal Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Those shoes are pretty hard to come by and if they know what they have they will probably want good money for it... They bring $150-$400 on ebay depending on size and condition.... Ive been looking for a cheap one for 5 years with no luck yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
