Questions About Punching Out Large Shapes

[Forkbeard]

This may be in the wrong places, if so, I'm sorry in advance. Feel free to move it.

I cut out hundreds of roughly 6x7 triangles of 12 oz veg ten with about 36 1/16" holes going down 2 sides.

Having a stamping maching that wold cut them out would make me money. Lots of it.

Can I get a thing like that made? Can I run it in a hand press type set up?

I'm moving into new and more intense business territory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hey FB, Check out Springfield Leather here: Springfield Leather Manufacturing Shop

I know they state on there that they can make shapes in bulk. Give them a call, I bet they can make what you need.

Hi FB,

Yes, draw out a template of your needs and send it to Heather at Texas Custom Dies. She will tell you what it costs. What you are asking for can easily be handled by a 10 ton press. Your options are motor driven hydraulic or manual, the manual will work, but if I am right about what your doing, the hydraulic clicker will be faster. Cost and shipping is the problem, a 10 ton hydraulic clicker press will cost $3000 and as much as another $1000 to ship.

If you get the die made, you can send it to me and I will click out a dozen to see what you think.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I think I can find a press locally and refit it. Before leather, I was in welding and still have alot of contacts in the industrial crowd.

The clicker is what I needed to know about. Just knowing I can get what I want is 10 steps ahead.

Thanks

In the interest of saving space, I'll keep my weird machinery questions going here.

Is there a machine that can punch holes in straight lines automatically? I punch holes every 3/8" on the edges of straps to sew stuff together in areas my sewing machine can't reach. A maichine like this would help me out.

A Rotary Punch from Weaver Leather would work.
