ozzy1040 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just wondering if anyone has any basic info on a Mills hydraulic press, I would like to know some basics. How suitable are they for general day to day blacksmithing? Are there parts still assessable for maintenance? What's the speed like? Etc etc… thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 It will totaly depend upon the spec of the press, in general 12 tonns is about the minimum that is really much use for forging. Unless you are punching and the ram is fast under load. I have a friend who had a very similar press to that and it was not much cop. they are also oftern spring return which makes the ram return very slow.
