In punching capacity alone the HD 7000 or HD 6500 offers more than a 44% increase in productivity. The extra sheet capacity will provide the user with up to 166% more daily output and do so at a lower cost. Performance Design has no hidden costs and no extra charge for our standard year's warranty, and our warranty covers both the Machine and the Die.

The Rhin-O-Tuff HD 7000 and HD 6500 are superior punches to the Magnapunch in every manner of measurement. These Rhinos have now become a standard in the graphics industry with 10,000 units installed throughout the US and Canada and more than 1,000 of these to one large account. These simple and unpretentious machines are known for rugged durability and for being first with new innovative features. The Quick Change Die, Swing Away Pin Retainer, Auto Anti Jam Reverse with manual reverse backup, Attachable Die Rack, and Upgradeable to an Auto Punch, are just a few examples.

An excellent endorsement of PDI punching products comes from the manufacturer of the Magnapunch. Having recently introduced a model of Vertical Feed Punch, they say in their literature, "The vertical punch throat eliminates punching skew to provide a more consistent punch." We could not have said it better except maybe to add... "and over 10,000 user of Rhin-O-Tuffs would agree."

PDI Machines are UL and CE approved - not just built to the standard. No expense was spared in order to insure that our customers are receiving the best value for their dollar. The machines are sold and serviced by Dealers exclusively throughout the USA, Canada, Mexico and now Europe.
