It's a really oddball press, custom designed  and made by Bonny-doone Eng just for the specialized copper hollowbody sculpture Bill Hornaday was doing. He wants $3500 for it
It has great access but the extended arms are levered off 2 rollers that slide up and down a column and the capacity drops off sharply away from the columns. It isn't worth the $ to me.
I have diverse collected parts and pieces to make 2 higher capacity presses stacked here and there, waiting.
Still lacking the 30 HP motor for the bigger one.

fast to slow.  Probably more $$ than you wan tto invest, though.

Why not just buy it?
