Table turns when I crank the handle, so pretty good I think

I finally found one (actually he has several) and he was even really local! Well without further adieu, here it is:





The price wasn't too bad either.

Nice find Vinny.

Those rotary tables can be v e r y dangerous.  Ship it to me and I'll check it out for free.  

Somebody stole the Fly from your fly-press !

Fly press? Super awesome! I thought they usually had a bigger throat, though...

A fly press was just an idea/possible substitute for a kick press. The kick press is what I was really looking for. I pretty much gave up on the idea of a fly press when the only ones I could find around here were over $1000. This one was $230.

Good price!

Vinny, what sort of force can that kick press generate?

I have a corner notcher that works on the same principal, and doing more than one or two 2" corners gets old VERY quickly !

It has two positions for the motion and force. The position it's in now has less motion but more force. The spec for the short stroke is 2.5 tons. It's a Model 10. The specs are at the bottom of page 4: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/1416/6583.pdf
