R-Series Gives Multi-Tools a New Angle.

Reduce Tool Costs.
Wilson Tool adds a new dimension to the flexibility offered by multi-tools with the R-Series Multi-Tool® for Finn-Power machines. R-Series Multi-Tools allow fabricators to select a punch and an angle with a single multi-tool. With the R-Series Multi-Tool, punches can be rotated to any desired angle, thereby reducing overall tool costs.

Multiple Station Options.
R-Series Multi-Tools are available in two models. The 3-station MT3Ri uses HP Thick Turret B-size punches and provides index tooling capacity up to 31.75 mm diameter. The MT8Ri has 8 tools of up to 16 mm diameter. Both fit D-index stations and can punch at any angle between 0 and 360°.

Load Less. Punch More.
With the R-Series Multi-Tool, Wilson Tool engineers have designed an innovative product that reduces the hassles and headaches commonly associated with multi-tools. Compared to conventional multi-tools, the unique drop-in style allows punches to be loaded and unloaded quickly and easily. And with fewer moving parts, R-Series Multi-Tools requires less maintenance.

Long Lasting Durability and Performance.
Every R-Series Multi-Tool is engineered from the strongest available tool steel. Each tool is hardened and precision ground for longer life and greater reliability, resulting in fewer alignment problems and less downtime. Targeted lubrication is provided by an intelligent internal lubrication system.

Improve Wear Resistance with Optima®.
Punches for R-Series Multi-Tools are available with Wilson’s exclusive Optima® coating. Developed by Wilson engineers, Optima provides a surface hardness, wear resistance and lubricity unmatched by any other coated or uncoated turret punch press tooling. The result is a longer tool life, more hits between sharpenings, reduced galling, better performance and less downtime.

Tips & Tricks
Punch Holders Increase Standard Punch Height


Q: Is there a way to increase the overall height of my existing Standard Wilson American Precision tooling to bend larger boxes without ordering special tooling?

A: Yes! A Wilson American Precision punch holder increases the height of standard tooling by 2-, 3- or 4-inches – giving you the taller tool you need to bend larger boxes. Using a punch holder eliminates the need to invest in special tools. Wilson American Precision punch holders accommodate the unique patented push button loading technology used in Wilson American Precision tooling and can be used in either the upper or lower beam of a press brake.

There are additional advantages to using punch holders in American style press brakes. The set screws on a punch holder help to hold sectionalized tooling in place. Also, if the beams of a press brake are damaged or gouged, a punch holder is an alternative to refinishing your press brake or purchasing a new press brake.
