Default Re: Getrag 440/446 parts.

It's a 20 ton unit. The actual brand is American Foundry and Forge. (Harbor sells Central Hydraulic) I got it at a local tool shop called Performance Line Tool Center. They have all sorts of cool stuff. It's like a Craftsman Store, but it's aimed more towards professional contractor types instead of hobbyists.

It cost me $300. I know it's overkill, but I plan to use it a lot. The smaller frame presses can't accept a Getrag assembly like the one in the picture. They're too narrow. I tried to pound that shaft out of the end housing with a hammer, and I nearly shattered my thumb in the process. That was enough to convince me to go back and get the larger press.
