Coper-Notcher photo

COPER-NOTCHER: INCLUDED FREE on 50 ton

Coper Notcher tool is used to bite off a piece of metal instead of using a vertical bandsaw or torch. This tool has an upper jaw the bites down into a lower jaw. The capacity to notch steel is 2" wide up to 3" deep up in steel up to 5/16" thick. It is capable of biting off a square shape, rectangle shape or V-shape. The rectangular notch is useful for coping back a flange on a piece of angle iron so it can fit up against another angle or channel at 90 degrees. You can V-shape notch by turning your part at 45 degrees to the machine. V-notching is useful when making a frame corners out of angle iron. You V notch where you plan to bend the angle to 90 degrees. Click to see a VIDEO.

If you need to cut a lot of solid round rod without the blade leaving a distorted flat spot at the end, then you will want this tool. It cuts 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" and 1" solid round rod.

Extra large Hole Punching

OVERSIZE PUNCHING ASSEMBLY:
(for holes up to 1-9/16" diameter)
EXTRA LARGE 241 PUNCH ASSEMBLY:
(for holes and hole patterns up to 4" diameter)

If you need to punch holes larger than 1-1/16 diameter, then you need either the Oversize Punching Assembly (1-9/16" capacity) or the Extra Large 241 Punching Assembly (up to 4" capacity). The Extra Large 241 Punching Assembly can also hold special multi-hole punches so you can punch unusual shapes or multiple holes at one time as long as they can fit within a 4" circle.

3/8" thick PUNCH GAUGING TABLE:
1" thick PUNCH GAUGING TABLE:

If you have repeat position hole punching to do then you need one of our Gauging Table Kits. It comes with a 12" x 16" table that bolts onto the standard or oversize Pedestal Die Table. The kit also includes an adjustable fence bar for front to back and an adjustable fence bar for left to right positioning. Each fence bar has handles that clamp down to the table slots to guide your metal parts into the same position for making repeat parts.

The safety guard was moved for the photo, but you must use the safety guards to help prevent accidents.

Fence guides to position your parts

FENCE GUIDES: 12 inch or 18 inch:

A Fence Bar can be used as a straight edge on your flat bar shear to guide a perfect 90 degree cut. The flat bar shear table plate has a mounting slot for it.
The fence bars also come free with the punch gauging tables shown above to act as positioning bars: 1 behind the punch and 1 to the left of the punch. Great for punching holes in the same exact positions.

Stripper Reducing Plate

STRIPPER REDUCING PLATE:

The purpose is to minimize distortion when punching thinner metals, especially when using smaller punches. It mounts to your stripper bar with 2 screws and has a spring loaded pin to align it. It can be swung away when its not used.

URETHANE STRIPPER:

This special stripper works differently than the less expensive Stripper Reducing Plate because it maintains constant pressure while punching which will minimize distortion of delicate metal parts, thin metal parts and soft copper buss bars.

PROTRACTOR ANGLE GAUGE:

Set any angle you want on this Protractor Angle Gauge when shearing flat steel or when punching slotted holes. The Protractor has notches every 15° and also at 22.5° but it is often used at 90°. It works by fitting into the slot on the shear table, punch gauging table or up against the punch table. Its also reversible so people who are left handed will find it just as easy to use.

Work light option

Magnetic WORK LIGHT:

Is your show not well lit? Then consider this super bright LED work light that plugs into all Edwards Ironworkers made after 2014 with an M12 connector and has a 100,000 hour rating. Super durable lexan lens and magnetic base allow you to attach the light on any metal surface on the machine. Good lighting can help improve the quality of your work.
