Mills 12ton hydraulic press

Featured Replies

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

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.
