What is the diameter and C-C distance of the two round bars that are used as the bottom dies on your unit?
Also do you know how heavy of plate it was rated to break?
Thanks
Walter
Walter,
I do not remember what they claimed it was capable of bending. I remember seeing charts that suggest the thickness and width that 20 tons will bend but I can't find the link at the moment.
Here is a picture with the small die in place. You can see it just fits between the two rods that are welded to the base plate.
Here is a picture with the small die removed.
I measured the width of the small die so that defines ... more or less ... the gap between the two rods.
And then I measured the diameter of the rod. Note that I must have hit the reset when I went to take the picture but it was 1 inch in diameter.
I hope that helps.
