Press Base Plates
Lay these heavy duty plates on the crossbeams of your manual or hydraulic press to make a sturdy base for removing bearings, bushings, and arbors. Thicker, wider, and heavier than the cast iron plates found on most presses, these high-strength steel plates handle greater pressing forces and are less prone to chipping, breaking, and shattering. They have round and V-shaped notches on their sides. Place two plates next to each other to create a hole for the bearing, bushing, or arbor to pass through.
Heavy Duty Die Sets for Presses
Hot-rolled steel press plates and hardened steel bushings give these die sets the strength to handle punching and metal forming applications. Use them with manual, powered, and hydraulic presses.
