bronze wear plates?
Hello all, there are lots of folks here who have much experience with forging presses, especially Ed.
I see that Coal Iron has bronze wear plates on all their presses where there are sliding parts. Most of the homebuilt presses I've read about seem to use steel on steel for these places. Just how important are the bronze wear plates? To me, it seems like steel on steel that's lubed good would be just fine. BUT - I know I do NOT have the experience to determine how important the bronze wear plates are. Bronze is expensive these days!
