“This helps us turn conceptual designs into real life products.”
Matt Little, WaterFX | RBD-3M 15/7
“We needed a press with the pressure pad on the bottom, and this one came with a 30 ton press on the bottom along with the main 77 ton press. We’ve used it pretty heavily, about 10-12 hours a day, and it’s run well with no issues.”
Doug, Sweeney Metalworking | HPC 70
“We wanted clean, accurate, affordable cuts and that is exactly what we get.”
Abel, Ideal Shield | Plasmasonic 6030
"We absolutely love our new roll bender! We had been using the same roll bender for over 40 years and were well over due for an upgrade, and that is exactly what we purchased and then some! The KAAST PBH 120 has allowed us to roll material in house that we would have normally had sub contracted out. And because we went with the larger machine we are rolling our material at least 20% faster and with better consistency as well. Our rings and arches have never been tighter! Thank you again for a quality piece of machinery!"
Chris Piazza, Erie Engineered Products | PBH 120 NC
“This machine is unreal, zero complaints”
Kris McNichol, CPI Pumps and Services | HBS A 230

“Very easy to use and efficient in getting the job done”
Robert, Hudson Machine Works | PBH 65
"We started with a great tech getting us up and running and trained in one day. The operator control is intuitive and the settings allow the machine to be conformed for multiple different jobs. We have doubled our output! Now we have had time to prove, this is an awesome machine!"
Paul Sayer, Webber Metals | HCS 120 NC
