Reply:Denrep - despite your very eloquent posts replying to various topics using text, I never understand your pictures and the aweful grouping.  Not to mention, once you post the pics, very brief text follows without any sort of explanation. WHAT IS IT ? Yes, I realize you're using a punch press but for what? What type of work, what material, how thick, what is the end product? I'm all for saving web space, especially when it's my own bandwidth but MAN put those pics up bigger! That's like trying to look through an out of focus microscope!!  John -  fabricator extraordinaire, car nut!-  bleeding Miller blue! http://www.weldfabzone.com

Reply:Originally Posted by denrepDid you mean awful groping?  Title - A word of inspiration, and a summary of the posts content.Pictures should speak a thousand words. I thought I could shut-up; But okay!Pictures:1)- An incoming bent forging, size tapers down from about 2"x6". I offer use of shop press, as an "old buddy", self-serve, no-charge, favor.Insets- Set up in an "H" press for straightening.2)- Press head positioned to work the bent forging. Copper the dog, always where the action is; most famous for corralling would-be thieves.3)- Straightening results. Task is sent off, free gratis.Inset - Bonus extra image. Shows the high pressure press pump; looks much like a modified diesel injection pump, complete with firing order!I wasn't going to post this, because of the controversial subject ....snip.....
