Contributing Member UKRay Posted June 3, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted June 3, 2009 I am using a British United Shoe Machinery rotary punch to make the holes for lacing projects but I only have one size of punch - it came with the machine. Does anyone have a source for these? Ray Quote "Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps" Ray Hatley www.barefootleather.co.uk

If there is a small job shop machine shop they might be happy to make what you need. POst a picture of the punch that came with your machine so I can see if it is a easy enough job to turn out what you require.

Members tat2 Posted April 25, 2011 Members Report Posted April 25, 2011 I sent a P.M to you. Contact www.seick.de he can either mill down 1mm so his punches fit into the 11mm shaft or make you some. Decent person. I just bought a BUSM too and once I have the machine I was going to sent the existing punch to him. Dan at Campbell randall I think can also make an adapter for the R-74 punches. How do you like the BUSM hole punch? Easy to operate and adjust? Quote "You are responsible for the energy which you bring into THIS space."
