Eyeleting Machine

Eyeleting machine is a tool used to punch holes in fabric and then insert and hammer eyelets or grommets into them. The eyeleting machine can be used to fasten fabric, clothing, footwear and other materials. It can be used by hand or as an automatic machine. Eyelet machines are available in a wide range of sizes and styles to meet the needs of different crafters and projects. A quality eyeleting machine is made of solid metal to ensure long life. It comes with a storage hopper and a set of dies to accommodate different sizes of eyelets. A ratchet mechanism keeps the dies in place during use and allows for easy changes between sizes.

An eyeleting machine is an essential piece of crafting equipment for anyone who works with fabrics. The hopper holds a supply of eyelets or grommets and a metal finger rotates around the hopper to push them down into the holder. The hopper also might have a built-in storage for extra eyelets. Some eyelet machines also feature a special die for cloth, which is different from the punch for paper. The eyelet machine has a table that holds the material to be fastened, with stoppers that line the back and sides of the table. A mechanical pedal, which can be pressed with the foot, initiates the process of punching and setting the eyelets.

In the 19th century, well after staplers and other types of paper fasteners had been introduced, legal staffs often used eyelet machines to attach papers inside special covers. It is comparatively difficult to remove an eyelet without detection, and eyelets can be re-used on other documents. Hence, the use of the eyeleting machine as an alternative to staplers continued to be popular into the 20th century. The eyeleting machine was developed to handle high volumes of work and grew in popularity as print shops grew larger. The modern eyeleting machine is a much more advanced system, designed for automated use with a variety of different materials and speeds up the entire process significantly. The machine can be used in conjunction with a rotary press for additional speed and efficiency. A double supply raceway also allows the machine to continue working with both eyelets and washers at once. This is a convenient and time-saving option for busy crafters.
