      Know Your Ironworker

      An ironworker is probably the most versatile tool in any fabrication or weld shop, because it is more than just one machine, often referred to as the “Swiss Army Knife” of the fabrication industry. It has a relatively small footprint, but in that compact space a range of jobs can be accomplished allowing fabricators to be prepared for most any project that comes in the door.

      With stations for punching, notching, shearing and more, this versatile piece of equipment should be indispensable in your metal fabrication operation. Essential piece of equipment that will contribute to your success for years to come. Built to be passed down from generation to generation. It saves labor, time, energy & cost.

      Punch Station

      This is one of the most functional tools built into any ironworker. A full range of punches & dies are available in-stock, plus tooling can be custom-built for special applications. This workstation goes beyond strictly punching; it can also be used for additional applications.

      Flat Bar Shear

      A bar shear is a standard workstation on all ironworkers, but not all bar shears are created equal. All Scotchman ironworkers have a shear with a variable rake angle which minimizes distortion of the cut & increases cut time for a faster shear cycle. From 6” to 24” in width, each Scotchman ironworker is equipped with the best shear for its capacity. Hold-downs are easily adjustable with good visibility, and the reversible shear blades provide a long life of plate shearing.

      Angle Shear

      Standard on every Scotchman ironworker, this useful tool produces a distortion free cut and can 45° miter cut with ease.

      Notcher

      Ideal for notching and nibbling plate & angle iron. When versatility is key, a coper notcher is essential! Standard workstation on most Scotchman ironworker models, but available as an option on those models it's not.

      Tool Table Workstation for Component Tools

      When versatility and flexibility are key, our unique tool table workstation is indispensable! This tool table design is distinctly Scotchman and creates a workstation that's fully customizable allowing an extensive variety of tooling options to be used & switched out easily, without losing the punch station. This workstation acts as an additional power source which allows users to tailor the machine to their individual needs.

      Dual Operator System

      Our Dual Operator models allow for two operators to work simultaneously without loss of power! The front foot pedal controls the punch & tool table workstations; the rear foot pedal actuates the notcher & flat bar shear. Scotchman Ironworkers are available in single or dual operator models.

      This is where it's at y'all. I'm a self confessed tool snob and I'm not gonna get all chatty kathy on this page about products I don't count on everyday, I'll say this, Scotchman Ind. has exceeded every expectation I had in deciding to go with them. Durability, customer service, and quality are superb. Homegrown business making machines in the U.S.A. Also, and you can disagree with me if you like, they don't post up fake and artificially enhanced women at FABTECH to sell Ironworkers. That fact alone heavily swayed my opinion to go with Scotchman. If you gotta use silicone to sell machines you've put your company culture and marketing interests in the wrong place.

      We purchased a Scotchman CPO 350 LT Cold Saw & 6509-24M Ironworker one year ago. These machines have been one of my best investments! Our business has grown in size and volume, necessitating moving to larger facilities. We plan to purchase another ironworker, the Scotchman DO120, and an additional cold saw in the near future. Scotchman has allowed us to more than double our production.

      We LOVE our Scotchman 6509 down here at EXP Fabrication in Justin, TX. We couldn't imagine our world being profitable without it! Keep up the great AMERICAN service.

      This machine sure saves a lot of time. I thought my plasma table was fast for things like this (shearing 3 x 1/4 x 12" brackets), but this ironworker is much faster. I love this ironworker and my CPO 350 saw, both excellent pieces of equipment.

      Buying a Scotchman ironworker is the smartest investment I have made. Hands down, no questions asked. This machine is a time saver and allows me to spend less time in the shop giving me extra time with my family.
      No other ironworker on the market comes close to a Scotchman. I have worked around Scotchman equipment for the past 20 years in different welding shops. I cannot say enough good things about your ironworkers. I love all the different things this machine is capable of doing. Keep up the good work!

      The Porta Fab 45 is the best piece of equipment that I have bought in my 8 years of teaching.Since we bought the ironworker, the use of oxygen with the torch has decreases to less than half of what we usually used. I love everything about this machine! It's easy to use, makes precise cuts, is dependable, and most of all it is very safe. The Scotchman Porta Fab 45 ironworker makes my job 100 times easier. Many of my students say, "I wish my dad's shop had one of these!".
      Andrew Fritsch | Bourbon County High School

      I have seen your ironworkers at industrial tool shows and wanted to get one for our shop for years. When we finally got one it far surpassed our expectations -- we save time, money, and material. The 3-station turret punch has saved us a lot of time and money on drill bits. I would recommend this piece of equipment to any shop wanting to make fabrication faster, easier, and safer.

      Working within the public school system often leaves me faced with having to operate on a very small annual budget. Often, I have little choice but to purchase import machinery and end up disappointed in the quality. This year, with the assistance of additional grant dollars, I was able to purchase a Scotchman Porta Fab 45 Ironworker. My students and I have been incredibly impressed with the quality of workmanship, design and instructional material that accompanied the machine. It is refreshing to be able to use machinery of this quality and to speak with knowledgeable, friendly support staff. Thank you for your high standards and excellent quality all around!

      I bought a used 50-ton ironworker (built in 1980) and love that Scotchman still supports this 41 year old machine with parts & tooling. The machine still works like new. I worked on fabrication and repair for 30 years before starting my own business 6 years ago, and after getting my ironworker I think back to all the times this machine would have saved so much time and labor. They really do pay for themselves and hold their value very well.

      This is the 2nd ironworker I have purchased and I love what it can do! Set-up is easy and it will last forever.
      Ed Cook | Midsouth Community College
      This ironworker has been a huge asset to our business. It saves us a ton of time and allows us to do things in-house that we used to have outsourced. Being able to do things in-house at a moments notice makes our customers happy and keeps them coming back.
      David Monro | RAW Structural Steel Inc.
      I would never exchange my ironworker for anything! Love it.
      Lonnie Jensen | Jensen & Sons Ironworks
      Great, low mainenance tool. I would recommend this tool to anyone working in the steel or fab industry.
      Bob Lechner | ConSep Tec LLC
      It cuts through metal like butter.
      John Spargur | ERG International
      This machine paid for itself by punching the thousands of holes through stainless steel 1/8" belts for the boiler we made for the Henry Ford Museum in the outdoor PlayScape theme park. It does everything we need and more.
      Roger Kremers | ROKS Custom Electronics & Fabrication LLC
      Our ironworker has been an amazing piece of versitile equipment. After owning it we couldn't do without it!
      Greg Westbury | Westbury Iron Works
      One of the nicest pieces of equipment I own. I could not get by without my Scotchman ironworker because I know how much time is saves in all phases of the fabrication process. The quality and craftsmanship that is built into all of your products is second to none LOVE my Scotchman Ironworkers!
      Corey Biggers | Rocky Mountain Truck Center / Elite Kubota LLC
      I own and operate a shop specializeing in custom iron work ranging from very traditional hand forge pieces to more modern fabricating and everything in between. Each project presents unique challenges and the versatility of my 50-ton ironworker addresses them all with ease. It's a powerful machine that is capable of very heavy use, but is right at home in a smaller shop. The sprice is spot on, the quality is second to none, and it's made in the USA.
      Travis Nelson | Ringing Anvil Forge
      This is the most dependable and versatile piece of equipment we have. I can't imagine running a shop without it.
      Jim Bridwell | Ozarks Tech Community College

      This machine has saved me hours of drill time - we just feed, press, and we're finished! Quick shearing and bending. Setup is minimal and results are always good.

      If you are looking for excellence, then look no further. If thousands of HS students can learn on these machines and not break it... then it's a SOLID product!!
      I have built a HS Welding/Ag Mech program up from nothing by using Scotchman products. I have taught kids to run two bandsaws, a cold saw and an ironworker during the past decades.  My students and I are proud to support Scotchman as the best in the game, and our top choice in the metal fabrication equipment arena!!
