Hinge Options for Your Punch Press. Last month, we described how to create a hinge in a press brake – this month we are going to share Wilson Tool's hinge options in a punch press. Creating a hinge is a common application, and we have a variety of tools to help you complete the job as efficiently as possible. Fully Enclosed Hinge. A fully enclosed hinge requires two tools, a progressive hit first operation tool and a single hit second operation rollover tool. Depending on your machine's abilities and/or the size of the hinge being made, the design of the first-operation tool can vary.
