This is a clean, reliable, and highly sought-after Haeger 618-1L hardware insertion press. This 1998 vintage model represents the golden era of Haeger engineering—built with robust mechanical and hydraulic components that are exceptionally easy to service, maintain, and operate without the headache of modern, overly complicated computerized electronics.

Key Features & Operational Highlights

• Pure Manual-Feed Specialist: Optimized for quick, manual hardware placement, making it incredibly fast to set up and run short production batches or varying fastener sizes on a single chassis.
• Adjustable Positive Stop System: Features a mechanical positive stop that allows operators to set a physical limit on the ram's downward travel, ensuring delicate materials and small fasteners are never crushed.
• Built-In Operator Safety: Integrates Haeger's signature safety system to protect the operator and workpieces by preventing the ram from applying full tonnage if an obstruction is detected in the pinch zone.
• Shop-Friendly Power: Configured for single-phase power, allowing it to be easily integrated into almost any facility without expensive 3-phase electrical drop installations.
• Deep 18" Throat Capacity: The frame design easily accommodates complex bent chassis, deep return flanges, large panels, and wide enclosure parts.
