Baby talk!

Post by oldgoaly »

ok got your attention! and it's not spam!

Jacin has been helping me with my Nibbler Baby! and i thought others might
be interested in these machines. Now before you go and spam us with a
link to another site, STOP! Please join in and ask questions or comments.

A little backround on these machines, they were made in Sweden by SMV.
Starting in the 1950's and are still being made today by Pullmax/SMV.
Primarily used cutter/shear/nibblers, other tooling has been made like
beading, joggling, domeing, shrinking,louvering, and some i may not have
heard of! In the 1990's these machine became obsolete/surplus, the
person who pointed me in the direction of a pullmax was Fay Butler. Fay is
the most knowledgable man on metalworking i know of!

Just want to say Thanks to Jacin for all the help so far! and also to Jim
Bailie for his expertise! attached is a couple of pics of my Baby!
"Isn't it a cutie!"

That really is a Baby. You can go right into a heavy sheet and make a square hole or anything. I think it was nice of you to post that pic. i never saw one before.

Are you sure that it is all there, shouldn't there be clamps to hold the metal you are cutting?

no clamps, i've been using a p7 pullmax for 10-12yrs now no clamps, just remember to keep metal down or you will be fighting it, and you won't win. tt
