Two reasons for buying a NEW hydraulic press

August 31, 2012

The wonderful thing about post recession for small and medium metalworking shops (if you are a lucky survivor) is that there are plenty of used hydraulic presses out there. Take your time to look around, and you will probably find the perfect used machine for your needs.

And therein lie the two problems with this statement:

1. Probably
Finding exactly the right H-frame hydraulic press or C-frame hydraulic press isn’t going to be as easy as you think. Sure, there might be plenty on the market right now, but what are the chances that the machines you look at will be in a good enough condition to risk your money. And with only a limited warranty or, worse, no warranty at all, you really are taking a risk. At the end of the day, it seems like a lot of work for only a small reward.

2. The perfect machine for your needs
Really?
Chances are there is at least one regular job in your shop that requires a specialist machine. If you have subbed this job out and think that now’s your chance to find a machine that can undertake the project...think again. Custom machines are rarely customized the way YOU want them to be.
