This Whitney Hydraulic Punch Press is a workhorse in our shop!
It’s a hole-making-monster. The only thing I do NOT like about it is having to use your hand to control the up/down pendant. I wanted a footpedal! Factory version is $1,700! Let’s use our DIY know-how along with an Arduino and three Sparkfun Beefcake Relay’s to make our OWN solution!
