talking about my "custom" Ipor one. I need access to a huge hydraulic press for 30 minutes.

I have a 20 ton press, come over saturday and maybe we can bend it back in shape.
How wide is the press stand?I have a 20 ton press, come over saturday and maybe we can bend it back in shape.
Just a recurve. I actually have not tried a sledge. I did try to drive over it with the 40 while it was on a couple 6x6s to see if it would go back. It did not.Granted, your skid is thicker than the 3/16" stuff I have...but I found that the impact force of a sledge works far better than the "slow" impact of driving over it with the skid propped up on a block of wood. I don't know if yours just needs some recurve or if it has a dent, but either way I don't think 20T is enough to achieve results. YMMV, interested in how it goes.

Schmitty - gotta measure it again. It did not fit in my press at all. Not certain 24" is going to quite do it.
I was just going to set it in there on a couple 6x6s and then press it in the middle to see if it would pull the sides in a bit to allow the holes to re-align. The way it is now, I can only get half the holes to line up: the front half.![]()
That would demand considerable effort for a project that should take about ten minutes with the right tool.![]()
