December 10, 200817 yr 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.
December 10, 200817 yr Author Yes it is this type of press I am looking into but probably a large one depending on whot thay can do.
December 10, 200817 yr 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.
