Used fly presses are hard to find with high quality screws that aren't worn out. Many of the used machines don't have a steep enough pitch to the screw. This means that you must to have multiple revolutions of the fly wheel. These presses are designed from the ground up for forging. Note, the screw only requires a bump on the handle that hangs down from the fly wheel. For bigger jobs try a full revolution. You might need a full revolution for hot bending a 2" X 4" piece of bar stock on some of the smaller machines. This is a four lead screw and the fly wheel on top sits on an octagonal screw for positioning the handle to the most comfortable and productive position.
