small, primitive Press with cutting and bending capability

[Web Goblin]

I think a Fly press would be the way to go as well for this. I think you would get a better more even cut with a fly press. If you hit the cutting jig off centre with a large percussion adjuster you are likely to knacker it.

Ok cheers

I get what your saying, if it is not positioned correctly and I thump it, expensive things
are gonna get destroyed. Considering that I would like to make about 800 of these cutouts
I would agree that the probability of that happening is very high.

Cheapest second hand fly press I can get locally is about £250, no point buying them
online because any cheap ones include freight charges and new ones cost up to 5 grand.

All a bit expensive for my taste.

Is there any way of getting a small arbour press like for example a Clark AB500B 1/2 Ton
to do this job? That way I can pay £32 for that, along with the lazer cutting costs for the
die?

Wouldn't that type of press be a bit slow, especially with 800 to make? Also surely the die would be CNC milled, not laser cut.
