A Bigger Press Just For Fun

For those of you contemplating a forging press and who think bigger is always better, boy!, do I have a deal for you! I found this one on eBay this morning, It's used, of course, so you can get it for only $75,000 !

It is an 800 TON press, the anvil plate is 5" thick and it can handle 33 strokes per minute. Heck, with this thing, you wouldn't even need to heat up your billet...
