No idea :)
I needed to straighten a 2 1/4 inch diam bale spike for a neighbour in my 60 ton press, and foolishly used my largest Vee blocks - only Chinese and nothing too precise. I was aware that it was a silly thing to do as they are (were!) cast iron. Fortunately my press has an umbilical lead for the Up / Down buttons so could stand to one side. Made a fair old 'crack' when they crumbled :)
