    Portable 20 Ton Truss Plate Press

    I needed to do some modifications to roof trusses and this was about the only way that made sense.

    it's constructed of 1/2 steel plate along with some 1/4 x 2=1/2" flat bar along with an HF 20 ton short body ram. TIG Welded together.

    It only has 1/2 of throw so you need to add the plates one at a time.
