. . .for this Wiedemann 12 station manual rotary turret punch press.Was aquired with some other equipment at a machinery auction and it's been sitting outside at the shop ever since it showed up a couple months ago (at least).  So Thursday I asked what we were going to do with it and was told we had no need for it because we have the hydraulic IronWorker.  I responded "Do you want it to go away?" to which I was told "Take it.".  Don't have to tell me twice so it came home in the back of 'burb last night.Smallest hole capable is 5/32"(center) as the 1/8" punch is broken.  Largest is 1" (right) and the rectangle (guess) is 1/4" wide x 1/2" long.  3/4" punch is missing although the die is there.  Material in photo is .063 steel and punched thru with little effort.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!

Reply:With the square punches you can cut, rectangular holes.        Sincerely,             William McCormick
Reply:Thanks for all the pointers William.  Or is it 'Sit Down Pee Pee'.Certainly sounds as if you've put your prints on those handles a few times.  This one spins freely, unlocks easily and punches smooth.  The spring loaded punch guides seem to keep the punches from falling when disengaged from the ram but then the unit needs a good cleaning too.I haven't looked yet but I take it Wiedemann is still around?  It would be nice to replace the broken 1/8" and missing 3/4" punch and maybe add a couple other shapes depending on what's available.Adjustable stand?  Now I'm going to have to think about that a bit as Brink and I were looking at it tonight trying to decide how tall to make it.  Thanks for the suggestion.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
Reply:That's going to take a fairly wide base, heavy base or a bolted down base isn't it?
Reply:I don't think it'll be too bad Sandy.  It was quite stable just sitting there on the corner of the bench and I didn't have to worry about it pulling over.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
