Maximizing My Hourly Rate, With Specialty Tools (Welder & Ironworker)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2020
- In this video I go through a project that you've seen before, making steel carts for a catering company. The difference is this time i use my new Ironworker to process the material, and get it done in a fraction of the time. This helps me maximize my hourly rate, and make more money on a job like this than I normally would.

those holes being punched, and that notcher, are so satisfying to watch.
I love this thing!!
One of the suuper awesome advantages of an ironworker is almost no die wear vs something like a cold saw, which as a fragile $100 blade.
And no horrible sparkly glitter chips!
I've personally used multiple different types of iron workers throughout my career. A definite resource and time saver.
I'm starting my own small business, and look forward to the day I can expand and maybe eventually get one of my own
I like your style. You explain your desire to maximize your labor.
Tipp for punching holes on the ironworker: use a bit of oil at the die after 3-4 holes 😉
When I use to make medievil armor for a living i wasnt willing to drill all my holes so i had to have a whitney punch. when trying to put holes in 20gauge spring steel you have to have the best sharpest drill bit to get through it but a whitney punch goes through with little effort.
First used Whitney hand punch’s over 50 years ago great tool.👍🇬🇧
Nice presentation, the iron worker is awesome as u've demostrated, keep them coming and thank u.
Awesome stuff Chris! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Love the podcast man! Keep it and can't wait to see the ramp build.
Great project and thank you for the business discussion.
Impressive on so many levels. Thank you for sharring!
Fantastic machine. Great time saver.
I’m no metal worker so this was not only fascinating but a great learning experience. Now I would imagine you would get a much clearer cut. Thank you for sharing I’m always live by “ if I learn something new each day I’m a happy guy. Take Care
Thanks for watching!
YES YES ... workflow / process AND technique.
So awesome! I have always wanted one. Congrats on the sweet new tool!
I love it! You need one!
nice Peddinghaus you got there ;) they are well built German machines.
Yes they are! This thing has been great!
I used a Peddinghaus Ironworker a lot as a blacksmith and machinist. It is a real time and money saver..!
Some welding magnets are handy too btw..
So Wise, Thank You.
Congratulations on acquiring a very versatile machine
I'm saving up for a Piranha... desperately need the capability in the shop, for sure. Ironworkers are definitely a game changer.
i bought a mubea 60 tonne one of these the 2nd machine in my shop after my press brake, just for base plates and any structural jobs these kick ass and the fly wheel driven ones are way stronger and last longer than electric over hydraulic. also mate you can get interchangeable plates where your angle cutters are and you can cut c channel and all sorts of stuff. happy fabricating yew !!!!
That things a beast 🤘🏻
Great score. From the numbers I see you got a hell of a deal on that 38 ton. (Peddinghaus) green with envy...
For anyone looking for an ironworker , consider unihydro made here in America.
Very robust machines. I have an pro 80 ton model with 24" sheer that has really come in hand.
Awesome!
Thanks for watching!
$1500 thats a heck of a deal, I wish I could find one where im at even relatively close to that price. Its awesome good job!
I would like to have one. Likely that will not happen. For now it’s the fiber disc chop saw. Great video ,thank you for the education.
Awesome
You may think what I'm about to say is BS it's not my friend. I am so happy for your success and your GREAT craftsmanship. The Iron worker has become one of your valuable employees. We will speak face to face someday and the hardware awaits and will make your bottom line even better.
👌🤜🤛🙏
Always want the ironworker in the middle of the shop
Having good tools and thinking ahead can make you lots of money. When I was in the home building business, I was always thinking about making my crew work easier so they worked more efficiently. In the end, I make more money and a happy crew. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
bit of oil on the metal before you punch it helps everything along .. ad you go through a lot less punch and die sets too.
What were those right angle jigs for angle iron?
👍👍👍👍thanks
Do they not make the iron worker with a miter cut anymore? That seems insanely useful.
1,500 for that ...You Scored !!
Big time !!!!
Hi! Appreciate your videos, wanted to feedback that the mic audio is too soft. You can see the levels on youtube by right click -> stats for nerds -> volume: -10.6 dB. Ideally it should be between -2 to 0 dB. Also, in this video, the mic audio is softer than the machining sounds or the intro, making it hard to hear you. Turn up the mic gain and move it closer to your face first, if still not loud enough then amplify digitally. Audacity is a free audio editing software that you can use. You can normalize individual clips before editing them together. You should also export audio in mono to avoid balancing issues
wow, I hate to say it, i thought it was little low and i guess I gradually turned it up a little to compensate but then when the next video came on I almost pooped my pants because it was so loud (ok, an exaggeration, but the difference was drastic)
Nice machinery, is there a miniature version of this for cutting small brass pieces?
There are many manual Ironworkers you can get for soft material, they use mechanical advantage to shear and punch, check on eBay
Yes there is a smaler one about half that size. Look for Peddinghaus Peddy. Used ones start at 300 Euros in Germany, I payed 600 for mine, but it came with a punch table and a lot of tooling so it was woth it for me. But keep in mind these machines are very heavy.
Are the angle jigs home made or store bought? I'd like to get a set of those.
what is the name of that yellow regulator cup at 3:30 that shows if your gas is on/off?
I’d be interested in hearing the difference in your labor time using the iron worker also the savings in raw material.
Id say I spent 1/4 of the time processing material than I would have with a saw. That being said, it still took me about 2 hours to process the steel. With the saw/ drill press it would have likely been a good part of a day processing. With material, being smarter with my cutting of the miters I was left with under 2' of angle stock waste, and 8" of plate waste from the shear. The other factor is the whole job just seemed easier to do without having to think about clamping, cutting, and drilling all this material, which kept me in a better mind state, helped me worked more effectively. I want to enjoy my time in the shop working, and this absolutely helped me with that! Thanks for watching!
You got a smoking deal on this piece of equipment. I typically see them available for 10 times that much.
Awesome machine and great video?
You say it takes you 7minutes to cut 4pices of steel? Did i get that right? Because i am also working a lot with angle iron and it takes me around half the time with carbide tip saw, but watching the video it looks to me that your machine is faster. Keep up the good work.
How much did you charge for the labor?
What brand and model is that machine?
I had no idea there was such a machine as this and it is much smaller than I would have imagined for what it can handle and accomplish.
I'd say personally that if you only paid $1500 for it that you got a steal!
They come in different sizes. The new ones are I believe 55 ton, 100 ton, and 140 ton. Used you can find them smaller too and usually around 40 tons would be adequate for a small shop not producing super heavy constructions.
Where are the punched pieces going?????? Never having seen one of these machines in person it's cool cuz it looks like the little circles being punched out are just disappearing...
Good vid as usual man
Did you say $1500 for the ironworker? where did you score that kinda deal? Never mind, I finished watching the video. That's a crazy deal.
Whats it called ?
Brand ?
And number of machine?
A no smoking sign in a welding shop always looks silly to me.
Those hard rubber wheels don't roll as easy as pneumatic. IF they are moving the ovens often, I bet you they'll want to go back and accept dealing with the airing issues.
7 min for 8 cuts? I can easily beat that time with the bandsaw
More but teach us more
"I didn't clean these threads when I restored the machine"... then you didn't restore it... you gave it a facelift.
Ridiculous on the capability of that machine....
