Notice Panel

Ironworker Operation          

This manual outlines the basic functions 

associated with typical Ironworker operations and 

is neither intended to create a comprehensive 

list, nor describe every operation possible with an 

Ironworker tool. Ironworker machines are designed 

to punch, shear and notch mild steel (A36) plate, 

barstock and angle. A wide range of accessories 

are available to fabricate rod, square stock, sheet 

metal and pipe. Cleveland Steel Tool Ironworkers 

operate by applying hydraulic force to a moving 

center. The center moves within a frame in a 

simple, vertical path and exerts force through 

Shear Blades, Punches and Dies, Notchers, 

Press Brake dies or Rod/Multi-Shear tooling upon 

A36 mild steel. Cleveland Steel Tool Ironworkers 

are designed for single operator use only. DO 

NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR ANY PURPOSE 

NOT DESCRIBED IN THE MANUAL. Ironworker 

machines are dangerous and require extreme care 

and caution in the safe installation, operation and 

maintenance of the machinery. Cleveland Steel Tool
