[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 250100, member: 468"]This one is hydraulic but the ones I used had a very heavy flywheel that little could stop its rotation. When you stepped on a pedal it would engage and run until you lifted your foot. The end with the yellow and black warning mark cuts steel such as: angle iron, flat and square bar and probably round rod and re-bar. The other will hold punches of various sizes to punch holes in metal, usually steel, as aluminum and such soft metals, will foul the punch. Same for the other end. I suppose it could possibly press shapes with that much pressure at hand. It may also cut square or round holes into sheet metal with the proper accessories. It is a very dangerous machine and must take full attention and eye protection when operating. Never speak to anyone, or make loud noises, around anyone operating such a thing.[/QUOTE]
