I get the 15N20 from Admiral Steel in Chicago. You can find them on line. You can also get it from any knife supply company as well as ask here in the forum there may be some available. The press is hydrolic with an electric motor.

I figure right around 30 tons as well. I am fabricating a box to enclose the tank and hoses. I have been sqishing some 5160 and its like butter!!!
I will see if I can get someone to video the press in action.
Thanks for your input! -

The hollw grind is deep front to back. I start with a sharp angle on the edge then ride the high point front to back, working bothe sides evenly down to my center line. By working the groove to the point and that deep it thins the overall tip. That was a full 1/4" blank when I started.
I don't know if that answered your question, you can ask specifics if it did not. -

I picked up a 16gpm Barnes two stage pump and it has leaky seals. I can get the seal kit but am wondering if any of you have ever rebuilt a pump? I am not the best mechanic. Is this a big deal?
