This machine punches holes and slots into metal bar strips. See the pictures. You slide the straight metal in the feeder on the right. Currently set to punch the long slot and the round hole - at the same time !!! Press the foot pedal, a powerful wack is delivered and it's done in an instant. Then you repeat on another ... Pretty soon you have thousands of whatever you are punching, and you are in business. The punched out waste bits slide down the gutter pipe and get collected neatly at the back. Fast and reliable, and classic. Fully safety guarded and electrically tested. Nothing wrong with it. We just don't use it any more. Runs on 240V single phase household electricity. This machine doesn't do the bending, but we are selling the bending machine as well.
