Hello, 34 years experience and it has all been wood. except for the rigging.and that was mostly just building vessel mooring components. trying a little blacksmithing with my sons, and know absolutely nothing about presses (fly, hydraulic,screw, arbor).I know I don't want my finger under a 3 ton,and I now know that is not nearly the power I need to do this job. We wish to press a 1.75" x 8" (round) "dish", into a 12" piece of 1/8" flat steel. Literally the first step in making a carbon steel skillet. We can hammer forge the wrinkles out later. What type/capacity press would be best for this application? The #3 Greenerd was a bust (probably no surprise here). How about an 80 Ton hydraulic?
Thanks. Shack
