Hi All

Does anyone know of any brands of swaging presses used for marine applications, shrouds etc..

I've hired a balustrading press a couple of times, but the die is more hexagonal shaped than the true roll swage.

Just wondered what types the pros used.

Thanks

We used to hold it on the train track but you gotta turn it over before that 2nd boxcar wheel hits so you get even compression also wait for the train cars to be empty because the full load of say gravel will just obliterate the housing.The best technique is to lay in the middle of the track and hold on to a tie so you don't get vibrated all over the place like I did ....... <img src=

We are not the people to ask. Try asking the people who use these things.

or

Be short and to the point and they might answer. These people are too busy to go sailing this time of year.
