Iron Worker

[930dreamer]

Local FB, NOT MINE!

$6,000
Iron worker for sale. Some of the nomenclature is gone so I don’t know the brand. Works great, cuts 3/4” and 1 1/4” square and round stock like butter. Comes with a 3/4” round punch. I’m sure other dies can be purchased or made for it. Cuts up to 3”x3” angle iron. And has a nibbler/ shear that cuts 3/8” ..possibly 1/2”. Runs off 220VAC single phase. Has two foot pedals to operate each side.
Has two copper lines that are broken that help lubricate. Although this can be done by hand.
Located at 1320 Alcock Pampa TX
We can help you load it.. it’s Heavy

Its tonnage, or X hole thru Y thickness will give a clue.

I'm going to guess its a ~30 ton unit based on its dainty size.

Around here the price would be ludicrous. One could have a hydraulic ironworker of double the capacity for their asking.

For those who have never pulled the lever on a mechanical ironworker those things are scary. Once the detent hits the cycle is started with no way of stopping it. Unlike a hydraulic where you can stop at any time. For me it wasn't the shear in the body which was so iffy but the punch station where if you didn't have the right support something like your hands could get smashed. I sold my Peddinghaus for those reasons and got a MetalMuncher.

I agree the price seems high, the brand new hydraulic Ironworker we bought here at work was only $10k.

Yea, price is way high. I've seen larger hydraulic ones come up before for less than they're asking for that here in TX.

I bought my nice 55 ton Edward's with all kind of punches for 2500. And like said I would never use a mechanical iron worker

No joke. I worked at a small shop that had one. We only used it for one job that only came through a couple times a year. The only reason we kept it around was it had a custom die set that didn't fit our other iron worker and it didn't make sense to have new tooling made for such a low volume job. Whenever we weren't running that job, the owner would remove the plug from the machine so no one was tempted to try and use it for something else.

I used my 40 ton Peddinghaus iron worker today, totally mechanical. I punched about 100 1/2 inch holes in 1/8 mild steel. Worked like a charm, as it has for the last 17 years I’ve owned it. One needs to learn how to choose the right bottom die or anvil to get the correct clearance for whichever punch one is using.Maybe it’s a good thing some people shy away from such machinery. Makes it easier for us that can figure **** out without the internet to acquire.
