Couldn't agree more about the dies in the 12 ton; they are an impediment to my processes! One accessory I bought for my 12 ton that has made a huge difference for me is the foot pedal; I like having both hands free to manipulate the billet. Don't know if Clark offers that for this machine, but if they do it's well worth having.

Funny cause this was the press I was going to buy before my coal 12 ton. I messaged you and you said how pleased you were with the 12 ton. The Clark press was having supply chain issues at the time and too be honest the owner wasn't really great to deal with at the time at least. Don't get me wrong I love my 12 ton and have no regrets but when I upgrade the tonnage down the road I woukd also be looking at clark once again. I'll tell ya this though the price has jumped, I believe it was 3500 delivered a few years ago. Hope the old man that builds these has gotten a little better with customers. The one thing about coal iron is their customer service is fire. Looking forward to more videos featuring the press.
@Hathenbrucksteelworks 5 күн бұрын
I love this comment. Yeah, the 12 ton is still great, and I don’t plan on selling mine. Coal Iron is definitely amazing to deal with, no doubt about it. I’ve chatted with Clark a few times, and to me he’s been pretty pleasant. When I get my induction forge, it’ll be through Coal Iron. I truly hope I didn’t come across as having any sort of ill will toward Coal Iron, because I have none. I just know that a lot of makers don’t have endless amounts of cash, so these sort of deal are worth making the community aware of. I’ll be forging some billets with this machine today, and I’m excited to put it to work. Again, thanks a ton for your insight!!
@TheMotownPhilly 4 күн бұрын
@Hathenbrucksteelworks definitely didn't come across as having ill will. I'm glad you bought the Clark cause there really isn't anything out there on those and I know you will make content around it and also be honest of it's short comings(if there are any). I was looking at his ribbon burners but he has no info or price available on his site. That will probably be my next major upgrade and I'd like another affordable option aside from The Apollo. Look forward to your next video and congrats on the upgrade

@TheMotownPhilly thank you. I’ll definitely be honest. I think it’s one reason why I couldn’t take free tools from people like Brodbeck and Ameribrade. I wouldn’t be able to take their tools and just tell everyone how amazing they are, I’d have to be honest and let people know that they have their flaws. I’m not sure how much his forges are, but I did get the Apollo, and I’m pretty happy with it. The gas usage from the ribbon burner is significantly less, which is a big to me.

I really hate having hot steel fly out of tongs that weren't holding it well enough! Sounds like the Vevors might be an option, given their cost, to buy with the expectation of modifying them to fit the stock I'm working with at the time, and if it screws up the tongs, oh well.

@stevealford230 26 күн бұрын
@@Hathenbrucksteelworks in my experience, almost every pair of pre-made tongs needs to be adjusted to the size of the material you're going to use, no matter what size they are supposedly made for. Just heat them up, grab your stock with them, hammer the bit to fit the material tightly, heat up again, and quench in the appropriate medium (these are allegedly high Carbon, so I'd go with a fast oil just to be safe, but most tongs are mild to low, so water them). I wouldn't blame any tongs for not fitting my stock fresh out of the box... that's just to be expected.

Safety wire will solve this bolt problem, a hole in the head to run it though is the standard method. You might get away with wrapping the head with a tight twist and going to the other bold the same way position so the counter unscrewing. McMaster sells the wire in different wire size. Safety wire plyers are the best method for doing that suff. Cheers!

Thanks for that. I was thinking about this at one point, but ended up not wanting to drill the holes and all that.
