A bearing race on the bottom with a round chunk of steel on top with some clearance. Finish with the hammer. If you could give some more info on what press you have and those dies, that would be awesome! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRB Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Simple, I like it! Obviously thats a pretty wide set of dies, what kind of press are you using? I'm thinking I'll need a large throated c frame press, almost the shape of a fly press, in order to fit the discs in Edited September 8, 2021 by Mod30 Remove excessive quote.

MRB Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Given a 20 ton fly press can form these pans, I'm curious if one of those 20 ton H frame shop presses would work for this. I have my coal iron press for forging, so I wonder if getting one of these cheap hand cranked presses would work for forming the pan blanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriaan Gerber Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I have the h shaped forging press from Riverside, I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbradshaw Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 That’s the same one I have. Do you know what diameter the bearing race or the large round are? How much clearance is there between the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriaan Gerber Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I think its around 9" with a 1" gap. I can measure later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
