Cool press should do a nice job of making steel veneer, could make pertty thick steel bowels. Make sure you have it bolted to the floor or you will go dancing. Have a lot of fun with the new toy.

Screws can have multiple leads though common ones generally have *one*. hunt under "multiple start screw"

"Multiple-Start Thread. A multiple-start thread is one that has two or more ridges wrapped around a cylinder or cone for the total length."

What it means in practice is that the screw advances *much* faster for every rotation of the shaft. So a screw that has 3 or more leads will be a lot faster for forging hot metal than one that has only one or two leads (sort of like the difference in a fast hydraulic system and a slow one when used for forging)

What is this +3 lead and what is it used for? Sorry but I didn't come up with anything from google.

Thanks,

More commonly known a a 3 start thread. Or however many threads it has, my small flypress has a 4 start screw in it.
