Electro-punch machine uses ? .....
Hey ! , all my razor and knifemaking friends. I have this Electro-Punch machine and i am trying to think of uses for it.
I can have a stamp made that will fit in it for stamping in my "makers mark" or i can use it for making conchos for hat bands, belts etc.
But, what other uses can you think of ?

How fast is it? It could be used for pinning!
Seriously, the old collarless peens on the old Gencos, Cases and such always led me to think they were done by such a tool. Maybe some hollow dies either side might accomplish the same.
Does it have an adjustable limiter? Clutch? Foot pedal?Geezer likes this.

The dies would be rather expensive. The diameter of the punch is about 1". Originally Posted by sharptonn

OH! Seems like you could change-out the top/bottom dies to smack almost anything?
If it is super-controllable, a flat or concave ram pushing lightly against a leather punch. Make holes. Make patterns.
How else do they do the leather pressing?Last edited by sharptonn; 07-10-2018 at 01:51 AM.

I think outback mentioned some bolsters...
Anything which pushes should be handy, Randy! (Made a rhyme!)
Not so much into pushing these days. Something to push for me?
Possibilities seem endless.Geezer likes this.
