Bonny Doon Pro 55-Ton Electric Hydraulic Press & Ram

Capable of producing nearly three times the force of the Bonny Doon 20-ton models, the 55-ton Pro is ideal for hot-forging mokume gane billets and can coin pieces up to 1" in diameter. This press performs all the heavy or deep forming tasks your work requires—and completes each task faster and more evenly with less finishing required and with no marring or damaging of metals. With electrically powered hydraulics, this Bonny Doon PRO delivers 55 tons of force, conforming metal to the shape of the die placed in the platens of the press and allows the press to form thicker metal with finer details in a single cycle—eliminating the need for multiple annealing steps. The press offers a 9"W x 10"H working area that easily accommodates workpieces. The 55-ton PRO is particularly effective when used with the high-precision non-conforming die kit (110616).The overhead orientation of its hydraulic ram, driven by an electric pump, allows more room between the platens for deeper draws and greater versatility. The universal ram head accepts a wide variety of tooling. The stroke, a full 10", is nearly twice that of the Classic and the Mark III.This Bonny Doon Pro delivers more power, greater control and guaranteed repeatability to production-run metalsmiths. It is designed for maximum versatility when it comes to the types and styles of dies it will accommodate and die-forming techniques that can be used with it. This additional versatility will require more knowledge and training to use properly and safely.• Press frame is welded heavy-gauge steel, the cylinder is attached to the frame via the upper crossbeam, and the frame is powder-coated for a long-lasting finish.• Heavy-duty, two-speed, 1/2hp electric hydraulic pump delivers high-performance needed for the additional pressure generated by this press. It is very quiet (at just 67–81 dBA), produces 10,000psi and features a 10-ft. remote control that gives you essential freedom of movement as you work. Oil reservoir holds 1 gallon.• Steel platens are hard and smooth.• Includes two Lexan™ safety windows with magnetic attachment.• Pre-drilled feet allow you to bolt the press directly to a workstation.
