ichudov Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I bought a huge OBI punch press, 10 ton capacity: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5TI_SjzmZ1w/UZ7GRJdYHDI/AAAAAAAACg4/kuosq6G1oYc/w369-h492-no/20130523_132600.jpg On that press, there are two solid predrilled "bolster plates" appx. 42x27 inches and 4 inches thick. I will keep one for my large hydraulic press that I recently put in service, however, I have another plate since this press has two plates. So, I am thinking, what are the possible blacksmith or home shop type uses for those bolster plates? Weight estimated at 1,400 lbs each. They do NOT have T-slots, just a row of predrilled tapped holes. i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Backup so when the first one gets garbaged you have a nice clean second one ready to hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
