Fly Press

Saw this today. Looks like he is wanting scrap value, which was around $350 a ton last week for clean mild steel plate. I have little experience with these so info on make and other specs would be appreciated. I can see a 34 on the front and the counter weight could be missing. It's a 8-9 hour drive each way from my place.
Thanks for your time, Jason.

looks like just a press to me, a screw press... not a fly press.... Still would be useful for many things..

For that kind of dough Id pick it up and see what you could do with it..



What are the main differences bewteen the two Larry? Does a fly press have a flywheel type weight? They seem to be very rare over here and I have seen both names (Fly and Screw) for the same machine.
Thanks, Jason.

Ahh just looked at an old post. Fast screw vs slow screw!! I get it now. Edited by rawtiron
