Buying a swaging machine can be a difficult task when you don’t know what you are looking for. In our previous blog we broke down some differences between a few of our swaging machines and today, we are going to be looking at three more! In this blog you will find a breakdown of the M1-K Type I Kit, M2-K Type 2, and M2-K Type 2 Kit. We will outline the capabilities of each of these machines to help you determine which machine is best suited to your needs.

M1-K Type I Kit:

The M1-K Kit is a portable swaging machine that can swage MS type terminals onto both stainless and galvanized steel cables. The kit will swage cables from 1/16” in diameter up to 3/16”. Alongside MS terminals, the M1 Kit can also assemble marine industrial terminals if they are the same outside and bore diameters as the standard MS terminals. The kit includes the machine, terminal gauges, feed guide adapters, and a full set of roll dies.

M2-K Type 2:

The M2 machine is a mounted swaging machine that permanently is mounted to a bench, opposed to a moving swaging kit that can be carried to different job sites The customer can choose to manually operate the machine or use the power-driven option. M2-K will swage AN and MS type fittings on all stainless and galvanized steel cable up to 3/8” in diameter. The shipping weight of the machine is 240 lbs.

M2-K Type 2 Kit:

The M2-Kit is the same machine as the regular M2-K Type 2; however, this version comes complete with a kit. Ball terminal dies weigh 10 lbs. each per set, while the straight shank dies weigh 8.5 lbs. Below you can see an image of all the components of the M2-K Type 2 Kit. When you are looking for a machine that has everything ready to go to complete swages, choose the M2-K Type 2 Kit!
