Identify Hydraulic Press

[Kaane]

I was watching a youtube video and saw this hydraulic press.

Anyone know who makes it?

Comment on Will Robinson's video. He's really good about getting back to commenters. Super nice guy too.

Someone already did, he doesn't know. The sticker says "ward" on it.

Interesting. When I saw him adjust the press table, and how quick and clever it was, I went into "WANT mode" too.

That and how compact it is. My H frame one is huge and annoying.

Which one do you have? I'm contemplating picking up one, maybe a Made in USA Sunex but I have to ocean ship it to Hawaii then go down to the pier to pick it up.

My guess would be "Ward Forsyth".

The issue with C presses is if you want or need heavy pushing power, they end up having a huge footprint. In regards maneuverability of pieces while pressing, they win hands down, I would like to have a hydraulic Devin press for those in between jobs that don't require my bigger "H" press.

My guess is that it is an American company that has been out of business for 40 years.

Probably. Anyone seen a similar design? I like how the anvil part is adjustable and not fixed like most C-frames.

I did a search for "hydraulic arbor press" and saw several images of presses of similar (but not the same) design.
