I have a P.S.&W. No. 5 IMPROVED available if it's something you absolutely 
have to have.  Shipping would probably be the killer.  It is a heavy bench 
punch with 16" throat.  Solid cast iron and has 3/8" punch and die in 
it.  No other dies.  I have no idea what the punching capacity of it 
is.  I've only used it on sheet metal up to about 18ga with no problems.

I think you need this in your shop, Dan. <smile>
