Punch Press

Build your business by incorporating a manual or hydraulic punch press
By D. Johnston Punch press machines can add value to any workshop. Working with material from textiles to metals, a punch press operator can perform tasks at a faster pace and with less effort, increasing the efficiency of your business and streamlining projects.

The question is not so much whether punch presses would benefit your business, but what kind of press would fit it best. The work, material and volume your business handles will determine the type of machinery you need, such as hydraulic, turret and manual punch presses. Find the equipment that will provide the right performance when you:

1. Look into a turret punch press for large-scale requirements.
2. Check into manual punch press options for limited needs.
3. Consider your choices for used punch press equipment to cut down on costs.

Get the right punch press for metal and other industrial needs

Though a metal punch press is most common - used for shaping, riveting and cutting various metals - there are presses for various materials. Whether your business is in metal, fabric textiles, plastics or another product, you can implement turret presses in your business and increase your self-sufficiency and overall processing abilities.
Try:  Get turret punch press information from a punch press manufacturer such as Muratec or Foremost. You can also check types of punch press for sale by the Heim Group, or request information or a quote from IntoMetal on CNC punch presses.

Use a manual punch press for smaller jobs and smaller workspaces

If your needs are smaller, or the products you work with are more easily manageable, a manual punch press might be the best answer. The presses are simpler, use less power and are generally smaller, making their operation easier and taking up less workspace. There are several varieties, including free-standing machines with levers or simple handheld devices.
Try:  Look into options for manual punch presses at Janesville or Tox-USA. You also have the choice of getting a small, handheld punch press for sale from Eastwood for simple jobs.

Cut your costs by looking into used punch press suppliers

A limited budget might suggest that a textile, plastic or metal punch press is outside your purchasing ability, but the fact is that finding a used punch press distributor is fairly easy. See if the lower prices for used machinery allow you to include one in your business assets.
Try:  Save money on used punch presses from Kempler or Universal. Alternatively, get a quote on any of Jordan Craig Machinery's inventory.

• When you contact a punch press manufacturer, inquire about new models that might be available. Usually, a new model replaces an older one, so older inventory, even if it's not used, may be cheaper. Looking for sales like these is a good way to save money on "new" equipment.
