Hi there, Thanks, for your comments so far. Here is another picture, so you can get a better idea. It's a rustic large picture frame. Rivet press.MOV I am not sure about the psi. My gage might be off ! It is very possible, that i have to do high quantities per week. That said, investment in new equipment is a must and I am not trying to accomplish the upcoming workload with my current equipment....so please feel free to dream up the perfect scenario. Small business scale please. I appreciate, that I can take advantage of your knowledge. I spent already a lot of money on useless equipment. Sales People try. Craftsman just know. Tx

Hi there, I am new to this forum and I am sure, that sombody here knowes the answer to my question. My problem is....... That i need to speed up my productivity. At first it all seamed like a good idea and I did a bunch of them as needed for production parts. Now, the demand is growing beyond my little set up. How would you, create several hundreds of those in a day/week? The following pictures describe my basic proceedures. Step1 The shape is pressed "cold". 2800 psi, Material is 1/2" Square Bar Step2 Flare of the end. At first, i did it cold, now i am heating the material. Step 3 Cutting off the access material and grind. Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you Andy
