Nice! States it is for Teflon.

$152 seems about the lowest price I see.....
If it makes you feel any better, we pay 330$ or more, this side of the pond....... :cry:
It is a good tool, though, --- we have several of those at work.

Hi, we will not sell it, we are developing it in a diy forum just to share schematics and software.
I'm interested in this too, Roberto; keep us informed!

Yep Greenlee punch set. 1/2" (for switches), 3/4" (some noval sockets), 5/8" (fuse holders), 7/8"(other noval sockets) , 1" (some octal sockets), 1&1/16" (other octals) and make sure you get a 11/16" punch for those Fender lamp holders. And an IEC mains socket punch if you can find one. And a couple of square punches for marshal-style switches.

Keep us informed Roberto, I'd like to put together something like that. I have a couple of Arduino boards I've been playing with.

Oh Yeah, I want a break as well, so I can make my own chassis. Guess I'd need a shear as well... and a bigger shop space. All more than $200.

I'll post the project when completed, if not please remember me to do.
It will take around 10 weeks I think, because we are just at the beginning, but we should do everything simply with one Arduino and three SMPS supplies.

Greenlee punches for sure, and....This is more than $200, but a planer. It's one of the few woodworking tools I dont have. Right Mikey? (Mike just graciously sent me a faceplate for a Rocket I'm starting) A round of applause guys, Mikey is a good dude! :D

I recently got this for teflon wire as the standard hand stripper doesn't work well on teflon. Bad nicks in solid 20 ga. which is what I use.

It comes with a cartridge insert for PVC, the teflon insert is a different color and costs $35 extra. This is much better, although it can nick solid wire slightly if you are not careful. Still way better than the standard hand tool.

About $120 with both cartridges.

Today I realized what I really wanted: eight miter clamps for putting cabs together.

More than the cost mentioned but a quality dovetail jig and a box/pan brake for bending chassis would be nice.

I would love to have a pan brake, but then I'd have to get a TIG to weld the chassis corners.

At this very moment my wife is desperately searching for an IEC punch.

The doggy in our life is in full support after hearing me hack yet another one out using files.
(It's LOUD and very annoying).

Any tips?
