Sterling Quality Eyelet Hand Press Machine

Eyelet machines are specialized textile devices that create and reinforce eyelets in a single step. The primary components of an eyelet machine are the stoppers and table, hopper, die and hammer. There are three steps needed for creating an eyelet hole in a finished fabric. A round of material is punched out of the fabric and discarded. A small metal tube, called an eyelet or grommet, is inserted into the gap to reinforce the sides of the hole. The ends of the grommet are then bent outward to enclose the raw ends of the fabric and keep the surrounding fibers from becoming unraveled.
