Clean Holes Without Wall Collapse
For industrial manufacturers, punching square or rectangular tubing often leads to distorted walls and messy edges. While many shops settle for slow CNC processes, the Porta Press with Mandrel Tooling provides a high-speed, pneumatic solution that keeps your tubing perfectly square and structural integrity intact.

Why Use Mandrel Tooling for Tubing?
- Structural Integrity: The internal mandrel provides counter-pressure so the tube walls cannot collapse during the hit.
- Versatility: Punch any shape—rounds, slots, or custom patterns—anywhere along the length of the tube.
- Efficiency: Singular or gang holing options allow you to punch multiple holes in a single stroke, replacing slow drilling.
