Building a Press Frame with Parallam Beams?
Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 2:14 pm
I am thinking about building a press finally and would like to try something different... I also posted this question on the graf site but no one has dared to answer.
Instead of steel ibeams could it be possible to use parallam beams? They would stand vertical, doubled up on top and bottom like ibeams, high end hardware, etc.
This would end up looking pretty cool I think but is this feasible? Could they handle the force, etc?
I have access to a beam so I thought I'd ask.
