Hey all, a buddy wants to sell his press. Long story short, he built this thing with the help of an engineer friend years ago, but never got around to using it.
Here's the specs he sent me.
"Here are the statistics on the monster. First, it is a "H" style hydraulic
press set up to do knife blanks, swords, et. Its supposedly rated at 100# but
my engineer friend calculated more like 75-80 tons. There are two die sets…a
flatter and a humper. There is a very nice bypass valve added to change speeds
and pressure. It has a Baldor 17 hp single phase motor. All parts are the best
quality including bolts used for the shuttle. It is bolted to a 4x8 steel table
at the proper height. The tank and the motor are underneath and out of the way.
Its all painted powder coat to a flame red. For it to be moved, it will need
some sort of lift. The press part can br removed and replaced but it will have
to reassemble the hydraulic lines. Price is $4500. I will include 2-5 gal. of
sheared 15N20 plus the same in 1085 steel…sheared and ready. There is a forge
furnace also. Its been (the furnace) outside for 4 years so it needs repair.
The press has been tested and works fine but I have only pressed some 2/4s.
Anyone who wants it can try it before they buy it if they want. I WON'T PAY
FOR SHIPPING!"
That's as much as I know about it. Located around San Andreas, Ca. If interested, you can contact me at [email protected] and I'll put you in touch.

Thanks Dan, I picked it up last week. This thing has scary power. It smashes steel cold like it was hot.
