[TheForge] cannedy otto no. 4

[RIES NIEMI]

Recently somebody asked about a cannedy otto no. 4 shear/punch combo.
I was looking for something else, and came across it in one of my old
catalogs- Beals and Company, Buffalo Ny, 1913
They have a no. 4 listed- sort of a manual ironworker. Will punch a 1/2"
hole in 1/2" plate, and shear 1" round, or 1/2" x 4" bars. Weighs 750lbs,
and in 1913 cost $80. Leads me to believe that new blades are no longer
available. Cleveland Punch and die might make punches and dies that fit it-
you would have to measure them and see, but a lot of those older punches
used pretty simple round dies and one of the standard punches.
