Ok I am useless at this….I haven’t used the forum in a bit!Its a new to me geka 45t it’s a 2003 machine in excellent condition amazingly still has all its stops and guides….to say I’m happy is an understatement I always wanted one since my early apprenticeship days!Its a 220v single phase too with great power for its size it will punch out a 27mm hole through 12mm plate no bother

Great machines

Great machines

The geka are brilliant Steve I used them for years at work sometimes doing jobs with literally thousands of plates cropped then punched and the machine never skipped a beat….I was looking for one for years at the right money and single phase for my own little workshop and this Jem popped up

My favourite tool, the scrap comes in useful too, a couple of my sculptures made from mild steel.

What an absolutely lovely and extremely useful bit of kit.

The circle scrap from the hole punch works well in a cement mixer for de budding thing.

It's like a fly press on steroids handy and quiet and quicker than drills and saws.

They are actually a small enough foot print my shed/workshop isn’t huge so I plan on making a frame and having it on wheels
