Members EricIsaiah Posted July 11, 2013 Members Report Posted July 11, 2013 This is exactly the information I needed! Thanks everyone. I'm thinking of going for the 6 ton. The only thing that concerns me is the 10.5" space. My wallet backs are 8-7/8" wide, so I the press will be able to accommodate that. Now to find a metalwork shop. In Chicago that shouldn't be too hard. Quote
Members Glendon Posted July 11, 2013 Author Members Report Posted July 11, 2013 Remimber that 10-1/2" limit is only on one side. You could easily get your cutting pad and metal plates cut to 10" x 20" to acomidate that one larger part you need. I have not tested it, but I'm pretty sure a 6 ton press could handle pushing a die that size as long as you don't need to do it with realy thick leather. I assume your wallet backs are 8-7/8" by 3" or 4" something. Just cut them long side out and you should be perfectly fine. Quote
