Mark Aspery Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 By friction screw press are you referring to a friction drive to a fly press type of set up? Grant Sarver (sp?) of 'off-center-products' in Washington state USA was bringing them in for a while. He has one set up in his shop and he does a lot of his drop forging under it. It's very impressive and very quiet. If that's what your referring to you might want to try and make contact with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Aspery Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I wouldn't have said that his were small. I bet they stand well over 2 meters - I couldn't guess at the tonnage. There were two drive wheels driving the friction drive. I'm a UK smith living in USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
