Rotary punch cutters - source required

[UKRay]

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 since they have gone bust getting anything new is not possible. Have you looked on Ebay and the like? I am assuming you are in the 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.

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?
