Has anyone ever seen these 20 ton presses go on sale? I have a 12 ton but am looking to upgrade. Been watching them for a while and other than a 10% off coupon, I never see them on sale.
I've been looking.Try marketplace or craigslist for used presses.
On really stubborn things I already see it flexing with a 12 ton jack. Don't want to wreck it, and now I have a vacation house so I can have one at each house.What if you upgrade the bottle jack on your unit?
The ones I see now have a strap around the vertical post from the press table so if you pull one pin to adjust it cannot drop out and fall. My 12 ton doesn't have that, and I don't think the older 20 tons did either.Ever? I bought mine in 1997. I think $139. Comes in handy. They look about the same now, I believe.
I see that now. Never had a problem but yeah good idea!The ones I see now have a strap around the vertical post from the press table so if you pull one pin to adjust it cannot drop out and fall. My 12 ton doesn't have that, and I don't think the older 20 tons did either.
Awesome, I'll be in on that. Thanks.Parking lot sale march 4th for itc, 8th for others will have it at $199. I might pick up the 5 inch band saw.
