5.0 MAINTENANCE
The Scotchman Ironworker is an exceptionally rugged machine designed for long life with a minimum
amount of maintenance. A regular program of servicing will extend the machine's life and prevent costly
downtime.
5.1 LUBRICATION
Ü IMPORTANT: Before operating the Porta-Fab Ironworker, apply oil to the THREE IN ONE
TOOL blades and the punch and die. Re-oil the punches and dies every 5 to 10 holes and the blades
every 10 to 15 cuts. The oil will allow the machine to shear, punch and strip easier and increase tool
life considerably. We recommend cutting oil or motor oil swabbed on with a small brush or applied
with a squirt can or spray applicator. Grease the main pivot pin and the punch barrel and guide
daily.
A multi-purpose, Molybdenum Disulfide (Dow Corning BR-2 or equivalent), high pressure, bearing
grease is recommended. Check the oil level in the reservoir once a month. To check the oil level, remove
the filler cap and measure the depth of the oil in the reservoir. The fluid should be 1/2 of an inch below
the top of the reservoir. Use a lightweight, non-foaming, hydraulic oil such as Mobil DTE 16, Shell Pellus

A. ALIGNMENT AND REMOVAL OF PUNCHES AND DIES.
1. With the punch in the down position and the arm up, turn the machine’s electrical power OFF.
2. Remove the stripper (B) by pressing down on the tab (A) and pulling the stripper toward you.
3. Loosen and remove the bolts (G) holding the die holder (C) and remove the die holder (C) and
spacer (D).
4. Loosen the set screw holding the die. Remove the die and set it aside.
5. Loosen and remove the punch retaining nut (E) and set the punch retaining nut and punch aside.
6. Select the proper punch and die. Make sure that there is proper clearance between the punch and
* PLEASE NOTE: ALL OF OUR #20K PUNCHES, INCLUDING OVALS, SQUARES, HEXAGONS
AND SPECIAL ORDER PUNCHES, ARE SUPPLIED WITH AN ALIGNMENT KEY-WAY
MACHINED INTO THE PUNCH. THIS KEY-WAY MATES WITH A KEY BUILT INTO THE
MACHINE’S PUNCH BARREL. ALL PUNCHES USED ON THIS MACHINE MUST BE THE
#20K STYLE.
8. Insert the proper punch in the punch retaining nut (E) and thread it into the punch barrel (F) and
tighten it with a wrench. If you are using a shaped punch, rotate the punch by hand until it seats on
9. Insert the proper die in the die holder with the flat side of the die aligned with the set screw. Tighten
10. Place the die holder on the bolster and raise it up so that the punch enters the die.
11. Insert the spacer plate (D) between the die holder (C) and the bolster.
PAGE 17
12. Align the punch to the die so that there is equal clearance on all sides of the punch in the die.
13. Insert and tighten both the die holder bolts (G) firmly.
14. Check to be sure that the punch and die are still in alignment. Realign, if necessary.
16. Check to make sure that there are no objects (such as tools) on or under any of the moving parts of
the machine.
18. Lubricate the punch and die before using and every 5 to 10 holes, thereafter.
Periodically during the day, check the punch and die for alignment. To do this, run the punch down
until it enters the die and turn the machine’s power OFF. Tighten the set screw holding the die, the
die holder bolts and the punch retaining nut. Check the alignment of the punch and die. Power the
machine and jog the punch up and down several times, to be sure of proper alignment.
Punch holes with sufficient material to contact both sides of the punch stripper. If the workpiece
does not contact both sides of the stripper, the side thrust may break the punch and will deform the
workpiece.
The standard stripper has been designed to work for most applications. For other applications, such
as stripping small channel, a special stripper may have to be fabricated. The important
consideration is to keep material level while stripping. When punching thin strap iron, the material
will tend to draw up into the stripper. To prevent this, a plate or large washer can be attached to
the bottom of the stripper, to reduce the size of the opening. This type of stripper will also allow you
to punch in the corners of material. There is an oversize stripper available for oversize punching
applications.
PAGE 18
E. PUNCHING ANGLE IRON.
This machine is designed to punch angle iron with the leg down. If the application requires
punching closer to the web than the standard dies allow, special offset dies are available.
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON PUNCHES AND DIES, SEE THE TOOLING MANUAL.
Ö CAUTION: PUNCHING ANGLE IRON WITH THE LEG UP WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
PUNCH RETAINING NUT.

Your Scotchman Ironworker is designed to operate in mild steel. Within conservative limits, it can also
operate in medium carbon annealed steels and some forms of abrasion resistant steels.
Conditions of high shock can be encountered when punching alloy steels and accordingly, the machine
* NOTE: WHEN CONDITIONS OF HIGH SHOCK ARE ENCOUNTERED, SET THE DOWN
STROKE OF THE MACHINE SO THAT THE PUNCH STOPS JUST ABOVE THE PLANE OF
THE DIE. THIS WILL REDUCE THE SHOCK WHEN THE PUNCH BREAKS THROUGH THE
MATERIAL.
The Porta-Fab Ironworker uses # 20K punches and dies that have a built-in clearance of thirty two (.032)
thousandths of an inch. Under normal punching conditions, a punch will use a corresponding die
A 3/8 inch punch will use a die stamped 3/8 inch. All Scotchman #20K punches and dies are stamped with
the size.
All dies have a larger hole in the bottom side for slug relief.
Make sure that the smaller side of the die mates to the punch before installing it in the machine.
When punching materials other than mild steel or in cases of high punch shock, we recommend
Due to working clearances in the machine, we do not recommend clearances of less than 1/64 of an inch.
This "RULE OF THUMB" can be extended, but the punch supplier or Scotchman should be
consulted first; (i.e. do not punch material thicker than 1/4 inch with a 1/4 inch diameter punch).
This rule of thumb applies to mild steel only and must be reduced when punching alloy steels.
The side thrust encountered in punching partial holes can force the punch over against the die and
result in punch or die breakage. THIS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY. Special
PAGE 20
nibbling punch and die sets are available for punching into the edge of material. For further
I. MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT MATERIAL BETWEEN THE PUNCHED HOLE AND THE EDGE OF
THE WORKPIECE.
The edge of the punch should clear the edge of the workpiece by a distance equal to the thickness of
the material. Any edge distance less than this will result in a deformed workpiece.
Ö CAUTION: WORKING WITH DULL OR DAMAGED PUNCHES AND DIES WILL INCREASE
THE TONNAGE REQUIRED TO PERFORM THE OPERATION. THIS MAY RESULT IN
FAILURE OF THE TOOL AND POSSIBLE INJURY TO PERSONNEL. IT WILL ALSO RESULT
IN A LESS THAN DESIRABLE WORKPIECE.

4. Make sure that the pressure block is seated to the top blade holder and aligned squarely under the
arm.
5. Grease the pressure block and blade guides before using and twice daily when this tool is in use.
PAGE 23
6.2B THREE IN ONE SHEAR OPERATION
Apply oil to the upper and lower blades before the first cut is made and every 10 to 15 cuts, thereafter.
Grease the slide block every two hours of operation. This reduces cutting tonnage and increases blade
life.
1. Feed the workpiece through the tool, keeping it horizontal with the tool.
2. For the plate shear section of the tool, adjust the hold down screws to the size of material being
sheared.
IN ADDITION TO THESE BASIC STEPS, the operator should be familiar with the following:
Do not work with dull or damaged blades. If the blades are chipped or dull, they should be replaced.
The movable blade for the multi tool is designed to fit only one way. Installing the blade backwards will
cause damage to the tool. The blade must be installed so that the angle on the plate shear portion of the
blade runs from smallest to largest, from left to right. SEE FIGURE 8 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.
B. MITER CUTTING.
The angle shear on this model is capable of mitering angle up to 2 x 2 x 1/4 inch (6 x 6 x 50mm) to forty
five (45) degrees. To miter cut, raise the guard and line the workpiece up to the scribe marks on the
cutting guides. Feed the material into the shear until it contacts the lower blades, opposite the side it is

7.0 OPTIONAL TOOLS
Ö CAUTION: WHEN USING THE TOOL STATION REMOVE THE PUNCH AND DIE FROM
THE PUNCH STATION.
Ü AS WITH ALL FUNCTIONS ON THIS MACHINE, SAFETY GLASSES ARE REQUIRED WHEN
USING OPTIONAL TOOLS OF ANY TYPE.
Each self contained tool has its own stroke and tonnage requirements.
This section will cover the installation, operation and maintenance of each tool.
The rod shear is a component tool designed to shear solid sections of round and square stock.
The rod shear mounts on the tool table in place of the Three in One shear and is anchored with the bolts
provided. Mount the tool so that it is aligned squarely under the arm and lubricate the pressure cap on
the top of the tool before installing it. Lubricate the top of the tool every two hours of operation. The rod
shear requires a short stroke (approximately 1/2 inch, 12mm) and takes no slug.
Oil should be applied to both blades before the first cut and after every 10 to 15 cuts. On all round sizes,
select the cavity closest to the size being sheared. In the square cavity, there is a kick up bolt adjustment.
Adjust this bolt so that the workpiece will just feed under the bolt and remains horizontal to the tool.

PAGE 31
7.3B EIGHT AND TWELVE INCH BRAKE OPERATION
In using the brake, it is necessary to load the brake centrally. (Visual centering is sufficient.) If work is
performed off center, the guide pins could be damaged. The brake lift is provided by springs. If sticking
occurs at the bottom of the stroke and the upper die does not return, usually a slight tap on the upper die
Sticking can be caused by lack of lubrication, the complexity of the part being bent or bent guide pins.
It is common practice to have the bottom die opening 8 times the thickness of the material being bent.
If parts require bends less than 90 degrees, adjust the stroke until the desired bend is obtained.
A great variety of standard brake dies can be used with this unit.
