Needing a deeper throat

[ktmoutfront]

Yep. Figured I would get more clicks with that title, but it what I need to find.

I have a Klutch hand held air punch for 3/16 holes. Has a 3/8 deep throat. I need something deeper to punch the holes farther into material. Without doing a full on metal worker.

Has anyone ran across something like that? This is what I am using now.

Does it have to be hydraulic? We have a hand punch that goes deeper. https://www.amazon.com/Roper-Whitney-No-Jr-Punch/dp/B00YFTVSHG And they make bigger versions.

Have you done any 24 gauge stainless with it? I just did 22 holes in a piece this morning. I would think my hands would be done after that. That is why I am trying to find a powered unit. Electric/air/hydraulic, whatever.

 

[mrk5]

Not much steel. Mostly 14ga aluminum so I'm not sure how that would compare.

How deep you looking for?

Here's a bench mount hand operated unit.

One goes to 5 tons, the other 7.3...

Roper Whitney No. 17 Medium Duty Deep Throat Bench Punch - 131020170 - Magnum Tools

Medium Duty Bench Punches are similar in operating design and capacity to the Medium Duty Roller Bearing Portable Punches. However, in addition to stationary mounting, they also provide greater throat dimensions and a slightly broader range of punch and die sizes.

@ktmoutfront I have a couple I could make you a deal on. One is a Pexto model 218
https://www.roperwhitney.com/our-products/no-218-bench-punch-deep-throat/
Pay no mind to the price in the link, I got a great deal and will pass it on.

The other is a 6" throat. Both have assorted dies and are just sitting in the shop. If you want I'll get some pics later.
If you have time I'll bring them to BB if we make a deal.

Thanks guys. I was hoping for a hand held air or electric unit. But no dice.

@Desert_K5 PM me pictures and prices. I have waited this long, another few months won't matter.

 

[Desert_K5]

Will do. Shipping would kill the deal they’re heavy bench units. I’ll pull them out and shoot over some pics.

 

[ktmoutfront]

Thanks.

 

[ktmoutfront]

@Desert_K5 Did you get a chance to get the presses out? BB is on the horizon. I forgot about them, until I needed one just now.

 

[Desert_K5]

Yes, I'll shoot pics tonight.

 

[ktmoutfront]

Cool. Thanks.

@ktmoutfront here’s a few pics. The smaller punch has been painted brown (nice job) but it appears to be the same Roper Whitney color underneath. It doesn’t have a name plate to identify the brand, it is heavy and well built. The blue one is too heavy for me to lift up on the table alone. The handle is removed so it fit under my plasma table for storage. Either one will come with some dies, I have to figure out what fits what though. They were mixed up when I got them. I’m open to offers and not looking to get rich.

 

[Desert_K5]

It looks like the dies probably work in both units.

 

[ktmoutfront]

Dies are usually generic in this type of punch press. I have no idea on pricing. Give me an "I don't want to get rich" number.

 

[Desert_K5]

Do you want both of them?

 

[ktmoutfront]

If I can afford them. Yes.

 

[Desert_K5]

Sent you a PM.
