T33980 Coal Iron Works 12-Ton Forging Press with Digital Press Controller

Made in the USA, this is the ultimate computer-assisted forging press for metal shaping.

Coal Iron Works offers a 12-ton forging machine with a digital press controller (DPC) that automates the press in limitless ways that saves your arms, your time, and your sanity when forging professional quality work.

This hammered grey machine operates by harnessing hydraulic power to produce force for bending, forming, forging, and punching metals.

The DPC joystick alone adds an incredible level of ease when working manually, but the controller’s real strength is in its ability to get specific dimensions in the material you are forging.

The DPC offers four modes:

• Manual Mode: for set up and joystick control
• Spring Return Mode: for easy multi-size forging
• Auto-Cycle Mode: for fast planishing and dimensional accuracy
• Punch-Cycle Mode: for consistent punching operations

This will allow hobby metalworkers, custom knife makers, and blacksmiths to advance from part-time to full-time production.

The press can be mounted to a bench top or stand in either a down-acting or up-acting configuration. It runs on household 110V, 20-amp power, allowing you to take the press anywhere in the shop.

The press comes filled with hydraulic oil, so there are no added costs to make this machine operational. It also comes with one set of drawing dies. Drawing dies are rounded to elongate material and reduce the cross-sectional area of material.

Because the press is so quiet there is little concern working in a residential setting. It has a normal operating sound range of 70 dB, which is quieter than a telephone dial tone.
