I saw the 50K tonner at Alcoa Cleveland in operation. It was a monster!

That was good; shared it with other gear-heads who are not afraid to think big.

I shared this with a friend who informed me that we have our own about 20 miles from me
https://www.loc.gov/item/ma1376/
it is the Wyman-Gordan 50,000 ton press in Grafton, MA.

They also have a 35,000 ton extrusion press.
I might have to pull some strings to get a visit to watch. I like to watch.
