Any recommendations for Ironworker purchase.

I would like to get an Ironworker for my shop. Any one familiar with them. The only one I've used is a Scottsman, but I know there are others.

I have a Scotchman and a Geka, both 50 ton. They both work well but have definite advantages over the other. The Scotchman (single operator) consistently punches/shears/notches larger thickness in larger sizes of material... . it has maintained its tonnage better than the Geka. The Geka (dual operator) has a better/quicker tool change out and with the dual operation allows for better productivity. Other brands tend to be expensive, as they are intended for heavy production... . or too cheap and not worth the investment. The Scotchman and Geka are both good "middle of the road machines" with the Geka, IMO, being a little better because of its quicker tool changes and dual operation (stations). Hope this helps.
