Maximizing My Hourly Rate, With Specialty Tools (Welder & Ironworker)

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.

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.

[@Subway1427]

I've personally used multiple different types of iron workers throughout my career. A definite resource and time saver.

[@colinstu]

those holes being punched, and that notcher, are so satisfying to watch.

[@alexanderrode6983]

Tipp for punching holes on the ironworker: use a bit of oil at the die after 3-4 holes 😉

[@cameronnerdin4910]

I like your style. You explain your desire to maximize your labor.

[@vpcnc]

nice Peddinghaus you got there ;) they are well built German machines.

[@WesternIronwoks]

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.

[@Thom4123]

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

[@EcoMouseChannel]

I'm saving up for a Piranha... desperately need the capability in the shop, for sure. Ironworkers are definitely a game changer.

[@jason9035]

For anyone looking for an ironworker , consider unihydro made here in America.

[@kalleklp7291]

I used a Peddinghaus Ironworker a lot as a blacksmith and machinist. It is a real time and money saver..!

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

So awesome! I have always wanted one. Congrats on the sweet new tool!

[@georgedodd3970]

YES YES ... workflow / process AND technique.

[@clydedecker765]

Fantastic machine. Great time saver.

[@tiscitatascit]

Impressive on so many levels. Thank you for sharring!

[@heliarcweldandmachine]

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 !!!!

[@dsdragoon]

Great project and thank you for the business discussion.

[@henrycarlson7514]

So Wise, Thank You.

[@Mitalayeka]

Nice presentation, the iron worker is awesome as u've demostrated, keep them coming and thank u.

[@joebob7344]

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.
