Default Punch holes with a flypress?

I'm wondering what the capabilities are of a couple of flypresses I have
- recent aquisitions.
One of them is quite big, I guess it weighs 300 lbs at least, the other
one maybe 100 lbs.
It'd be great if I could use one of them to punch several 3/16 inch
holes in mild steel plate of about 1/8 inch thickness or a bit more.
Is this the sort of job for a flypress? I'm thinking of a quicker
alternative to drilling.
