Ross Moffett Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hi Y'all, Found this hydraulic press on "Gumtree" and I was curious if it could be used or adapted for forging? The description given by the seller: Good condition. Heavy duty. 300mm opening. Good value. Was going for 40000 then 30000 and now it's 20000, price in South African Rand. Thanks in advance.

Ross Moffett Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Received a reply from the seller, he says he thinks it was used as a molding press, so probably won't work for forging.......? Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Moffett Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 ianinsa, Thank you for the offer but unfortunately, I'm moving down to the western cape (Overberg area) later this week. Although I would greatly appreciate it if you could maybe send the presses and power packs specs? Thanks and regards, Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
