Press weight.

Post by endre »

I am building a new press now. Ordred 12 m. of H-18 (In scandinavia we separate between I-beams and H-beams) The wheight of the press is going to be around 700kg(!) That is one hell of a machine. It must be hard to move this monster around, so I want to make it lighter. (carbonfibre skipress.. that would be something!)

What do your machines weigh?

my press is made up of around ten 2"x2"x78" square steel tubing and is definitely not light. i have no idea how much it weighs but it's moveable. it's pretty easy to move around with wheels attached to the bottom.
