October 26, 201213 yr I picked this machine up for 220 bucks it is single phase. It shears 14ga like butter it has a 36" throat. Not sure what other things it can do once with other tooling. I suspect it could easily be set up to do veining for repousse. Interested in your input.
October 26, 201213 yr I have a Trumpf machine it is similar but much larger it will shear and nibble > 5/16 from the edge. You need a lower tool holder that is is in line with the top tool holder. It looks like you machine is setup to shear so the bottom tool holder is offset from the top. These machine are great for working tubing. I used to make a lot of door skins from 18ga with joggling dies I wish I had some example to show. Is the stroke adjustable ? My machine has a variable speed pulley to adjust the speed I would add a vfd to your machine it would add a lot more control for free form work. When my shop is finished I will make some videos to demo these very versatile machines. brad.
October 26, 201213 yr Hi Timothy, That is a nice machine you have there. Similar to the Pullmax. As Brad says, with dies alighned with one another, you can do forming, shaping, doming etc. Here is a link to a very good site that will be of interest. Regards, Kevan http://allshops.org/
October 26, 201213 yr Say Tim, Simms (sp?) out in Lindhurst I think, can't really remember had one similar to that they used to use to cut drum heads for making tanks. If you haven't been there you should check them out. He has a lot of machinery that he has built/re purposed for fabricating large pipe etc:.

October 29, 201213 yr I thought you were getting rid of stuff, not bringing in more :D . Talk to our buddy up in Millbrook- he's got a Pull-max that he has all kinds of dies and stuff for. Makes molding, makes stuff for copper lanterns etc. He's got some really great ideas that he uses on his machine.
November 1, 201213 yr Not fair asking a tool hoarder such as myself a question like that-shame on you :D .
