[TheForge] heavy metal math/c frame press

Sun Nov 23 16:32:00 2003

Separating the power pack is an excellent idea.
My hair stands on end when I see some one operate a press with an integral
pump located a foot or so from the operators head.
 If the hydraulics let go a foot or so away from you, you have a good chance
of being maimed or killed.
If it lets go 10 feet away you just get an oily shower.
A high tonnage "H" frame works much better for me, than a low tonnage "C"
frame.
The higher the tonnage, the larger the die surfaces can be, allowing much
more work per heat.
