Sheet metal work

[Richard ParsonsParticipant @richardparsons61721]

 

Can anyone help? I need to make bench mounted joggle/ hole punch. The thickness of the sheet metal involved range from 0.75 mm (21 SWG, 0.032” up to 2.5mm (12 SWG, 0.104”. The metal is Aluminium.

In Joggle mode, the ‘joggles’ will be 20mm deep and as wide as is possible as I need to ‘joggle’ several meters. The depth of the joggle will depend on the thickness of the metal being joggled. Therefore I would think that the maximum stroke length will be a little over 2.5 mm.

In punch mode I would normally want to punch 3.2 mm (1/8” holes but I may want to punch up to 5mm (3/16”. Therefore the punch stroke will be about 3.2mm.
There is a problem with emoticons one appears whenever i use a close bracket thus  )

I don’t have a design for the sheet metal gismo, but I can tell you about emoticons…A lot of sites are set up to automatically insert them whenever you use a set of characters that they recognise. As with anything automatic, the logic is sometimes a bit lacking. Your bracket on its own did not get converted, maybe you have usually had a full stop next to it. Let’s try a few common ones and see what happens.

John Thanks,

The emoticon that annoyed me is the one caused by a double quotation and a bracket.  This is a nuicence especialy if you are using inches.

About all you can do is put a space in between, which may make things look strange, but perhaps not as strange as a appearing where you did not expect it.
