Link to Build Plans and Video
www.ramseycustoms.com/diy-tool...
In this week's episode of metalwork monday, we demonstrate the use of the DIY electric hydraulic hole punch station that we recently built. Its perfect for small production runs where you need to punch holes in a consistent pattern. There are plans available for building your own station just like this one.

I've been spoiled by serious ironworkers in shops in the past, but have neither room nor money for those. This looks realistic. Thank you!

[@rindress]

Looks great. That thing has a lot of power. Nice setup with the link to the build video and plans.

[@pheenix42]

That's slick. Will be looking up this tool soon!

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Pretty slick, Gary. You do quality work for sure.

Holy Moly Batman!!!!! Great idea on the adjusters and the rail system. I am headed over to order my plans. :-)

[@mohangadhavi9183]

Sir how much money for indian rupy

[@dawie641]

Wow. That is great. So much better than drilling or using a hole saw, and so quick. Great job. Also, your 'eyeballing' is good.

[@WildmanTech]

Cool project!

[@billdlv]

Nice job Gary on the intro editing. Looks like a handy setup to have around the shop.

[@turbocobra]

[@turbocobra]

Thanks Ken, will see how it works out...

[@Thefabforums]

very cool

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

You need this tool....

[@EcoMouseChannel]

I love making robot confetti. It makes me smile, knowing that I'm not wasting time drilling holes. I shoulda emailed you my plans for the one I'm making. Yours is over kill, for sure!

[@turbocobra]

Robot confetti lol. I just used stuff i had laying around, all of it for is less than $100 if you have to buy it...

[@EcoMouseChannel]

Keep a can of those around. They will make great faux rivets or decorative pieces.

[@FASTFabrication]

[@SuperKONR]

Very cool!

[@wildeyednorthernboy]

[@victorpereyda7604]

Shut Yer Face Garage

[@TxStang]

that punch has some serious power !

[@turbocobra]

Oh yea, thanks man

[@TomsToolRoom]

Sweet!

[@jkj1459]

superb

[@dahveed284]

That's a cool thing. So quick to punch out those holes instead of drilling.

[@turbocobra]

Yes sir.

[@yourbeekeeper]

That sure is a time saver.

[@turbocobra]

cool thanks man.

[@run4st717]

That thing seems to move back and forth smooth as butter.

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Very nice project! You need a catch pan for the slugs.

[@turbocobra]

Yes indeed, that will be an easy enhancement to add down the road for sure.

[@salehalgher]

Very cool I like it

[@turbocobra]

Thanks man

[@TailEndCustoms]

Bad ass!

[@peterowens290]

Would have helped to see how quickly you could change the punch & die. Explain reason for kick back when punch is made. Does the punch have any means to accurately establish the centre?

[@PiezPiedPy]

Had to buy :)

[@turbocobra]

Awesome, thanks for doing that!

[@MrSteeloneill]

@@turbocobra Hi just wondering where I can but the measurement tool you have @ 8 mins into your video . Or what is it called please

[@clist9406]

That punches 1/4" quick , I need to get one.

[@finpainter1]

thumbs up

[@jousa912]

NICE WORK. I WONDER WHAT DO U CALL THE MARKING TOOLS THAT U USED TO MARK THE CENTERS. IS IT AVAILABLE FOR SALE ON EBAY? HOW TO FIND IT? THX

[@jacktaylor3985]

Hi do you have a link to the hole punch tool? I can't find it. Thanks

[@rok1475]

Do you know if it is possible to punch a 1/4” hole in the middle of the flat part of a 3/4” steel angle? The hole would be about 0.43” from the outside corner. I worry there is not enough room and the punch will hit the side of the angle before hitting the side of the angle resting on the die Appreciate any help in this matter

[@bksteel4035]

good 😍

[@bksteel4035]

i am b k steel

[@snowmexican1913]

[@OzanTelim]

[@azbikerider49]

Why does the tool kick back every punch? need to make a drop tray to keep the floor clear. Nice tool.

[@parrot340]

Do you know any model that does thinner mettle. I only need it to do max 2 to 3 mm

[@ezmny100]

[@turbocobra]

It's called a rivet fan spacing tool... you can pick them up on eBay or amazon.

Thank you for your videos. Would you please give us the name of the intro music? Many thanks, from France.

[@jkj1459]

Though it is steel cutter it cuts easy as a soap bar cutter . how fro where that much energy comes from . ?

[@SebastianDuranHDC]

I just bough the same machine, for any reason when I’m punching the punch just stays completely inside the material and Tempe machine seems not being strong enough to pull it out, I’m doing something wrong? Im using oil and lubricant but it seems to not help enough. Regards

[@henrikaize]

how much is all the component needed cost in your city ?

[@king0cans]

If I owned this everything I had would look like swiss cheese.

[@turbocobra]

Lol, i hear ya!

[@ronstephenson1421]

[@kalpeshchavda1780]

Where I purchased it

[@johnerodz7]

Hi where can I get the punch thanks 🙏

[@davidyoussef9626]

it's an amazing machine can i punch 12mm steel with it and the diameter of the hole it must be 16mm. any suggestions thank you in advance.

[@branchandfoundry560]

Manual states it'll punch up to 6mm thick steel (though you can fit 8mm into the tool) and dies are available to punch up to 20.5mm diameter.

[@carylamari6546]

Very cool hole punch! The only problem is where do I put all the cool tools lol my garage is way too small.

[@branchandfoundry560]

Here's what I did to get around that problem. I bought a house with 1,800sf workshop in back. Not the neighborhood I want to live in, nor did I want to move anyway. So, I rent out the house which more than pays the mortgage. Now I have a large workshop better than rent-free where I now work full time AND I'm building wealth. There is always a solution #worksmart

[@metalurgicaleandro3222]

onde compra e maquina

[@hotweld1018]

nice job ,where I can buy the punching machine? how thick I can punch?

[@turbocobra]

You can buy them on eBay. Its rated for up to 3/4" hole in 1/4" thick steel.

[@netto880]

[@bryantguilbeau6978]

Does anyone know if these tools can do slots ?

[@vinayagamurthy1993]

How can I purchase this machine

[@henrikaize]

[@turbocobra]

If you can measure, cut, grind, and weld metal, then yes you can make it. Its 120 volt

[@castrocnc]

Hi brother. I want to buy a machine that. But i don't see to square hole 17 19 21 mm. Can you help me. Please

[@Averagechurchdrummer]

Hey man, I just ordered this plan from you, and I noticed on your website that the link to fabrication tools is not working. Just thought I'd let you know!

[@turbocobra]

Thanks Garrett. That link isn't available yet. The plans are under the DIY plans area, and the link you clicked on is for fully complete tools, not sure what all I plan to put in that section yet. I will just hide that until I am ready to put something in it... sorry about the confusion, let me know if you have any question about the plans.

[@haridas1415]

Great Job. Where can I buy this machine and what it is called

[@turbocobra]

eBay

[@SIAgarage]

how to mnake square hole with this machine?

[@tundralane256]

how thick can you punch with this setup? and, also, can i just buy the unit from you somewhere online?? Liked the Vid

[@Drinkjenuchter]

"Electric Hydraulic Puncher" Mph-20 (alibaba.com , Ebay.com)

[@turbocobra]

It will punch .250", and yes you can buy it online. I dont sell them. I just sell the plans that has the direct link for the one I used in the video

[@manishmittha1905]

what is the machine price

[@1970chevelle396]

That's a lot faster than drilling holes.

[@turbocobra]

Definitely if it's a consistent hole pattern it will punch them out quickly.

[@liarprincessxblindprinceni7067]

now he is groovier now

[@robertjacobson1399]

what is the tool called that you used to mark the holes?

[@turbocobra]

Rivot fan layout tool. you can buy it on amazon, ebay, etc

[@mikemccormack3997]

I'd be impressed if it could punch holes in 30+ yo hardened bedframe metal.

[@jopplate1836]

How to proaches that equipment

[@elvisacosta6666]

What is the name (brand) of the hole punch tool? Thanks.

[@turbocobra]

Eagle Resolutions & Resources Intl. Inc. it's an import version of the hougen brand from eBay

[@arclightdynamics8032]

Anyone know where you can get replacement punch amd dies for this tool?

[@turbocobra]

I have an email address for a company that will make custom dies for it. They are in China. I had them make 2 dies for me... honestly I wasn't impressed but I can dig up the email if you want it.

[@markfryer9880]

Hi, can you tell me more about that layout tool and what it is called?

[@turbocobra]

Yes, it's called a rivot fan tool, they sell them on amazon, ebay, etc

[@17hmr243]

[@robbrown6495]

Excellent tool but not so sure about how you measure your holes for the castor plate. Very hit and miss.

[@ianghansen87]

you gota make em and sell em bro

[@sambashivaraopasupuleti3159]

Hai let me now the cost of machine And want to buy this machine

[@sambashivaraopasupuleti3159]

Hai reply me

[@EnergyStarProton]

Что это за чудо аппарат

[@turbocobra]

The translation didn't come through

[@arebull9175]

maximum size can make hole? any one please

[@turbocobra]

I think it will do 7/8 or .875

[@Steeltablelegs]

What's the total cost of the parts to build the machine?

[@turbocobra]

Its less than $100 for the stand plus the cost of the hole punch itself.

[@waguttershield19]

good

[@elesjuan]

The hole punch is only like $700. What a bargain!

[@branchandfoundry560]

@@elesjuan They're down to $500 now from Vevor. A recent project had me at the drill press for 3 days. This machine would have cut that to less than one day. That project's labor savings alone would pay for the machine a few times over. I only wish I'd have learned about this machine sooner! Bought it as soon as I discovered it, arrived last week. Potentially a huge money maker.

[@salehalgher]

How much the punch cost

[@turbocobra]

Around $600, the rest of the stuff i used to make the stand cost less than $100

[@andreasscheifele8561]

But it's not really exact like the classic method

[@melgross]

Ah, I misread it. The You Tube blurb cut off the “stand”. I got all excited at a do it yourself electric punch. A stand for a hundreds of dollars commercial electric punch - not so much. I want to say that I’m not knocking the video. That’s perfectly fine.

[@jimmytate7587]

we had an ironworker at work and one of the guys punched some tempered flat stock. the punch broke and a piece of it shot across the boiler room , sounded like a shotgun. be careful about the material you punch/

[@turbocobra]

Dang that's crazy!

[@woodworkingwithdjleblanc6380]

plan link no good

[@turbocobra]

thanks for the heads up, its fixed now

[@carlwhite8225]

where is the link to Ebay ?

[@garylandmesser6976]

Can you send me a link to send the 3 dollars

[@turbocobra]

its $5 now. downloadcnc.com/collections/diy-tools

[@pauls5745]

unit did not seem very rigid in this setup, it wobbled on the cut. what about the unit itself and the dies it uses? forget plans to make a table for $3; should be free lol. I assume it's a 120v portable electric hole puncher

[@branchandfoundry560]

Plans are free when you draw them yourself 😉👍

[@kaieteurcanada]

Link to DIY plans dont work after 7 years ... and it looks like Ramsey is not answering questions.
