Just bought an Ebay Ironworker....

1500 lbs...$500.00...needs a motor...everyone's welcome to come over and make stuff for me!

 

We had one of those at the race car shop saved a lot of time fabricating stuff $1500, shit I'll come over and cut and drill for ya.

 

Definitly a time saver. What are all of the operations it will perform?

There might be a similar one for sale here if anyone's interested.

 

It shears, copes and punches...plus tooling is available that will allow it to bend plate, bend angle, etc.

Not all of the modern tooling is available for this old girl but it should be fun to see what it will do...

It SHOULD be able to punch about a 4" hole...cool for x-members and the like...

 

that's cool!! nice find.

 

It's an old 45 ton Ryerson..probably 50's/60's vintage. I used to run one in a fab shop in the late 60's...along with a press brake and some other stuff.

I KNOW they can be pretty unforgiving...I worked on one pre-OSHA...no guards or safety equipment.

Came with some tooling but I'm not sure what it is...probably standard shear and punch stuff...I have to pick-up the machine next week...should be fun to play with (safely!)...

This was so cheap I couldn't pass it up...
