John, If you are talking about the ram head on the arbor press which is black, here is a link to the ram head that is available from Legacy coinringtoolsllc.com/product/arbor-press-ram-head/ I hope this answers your question. If you have further questions please reach out. Happy ringing, Gary
How does this method compare with using a ring str/reducer? I have been trying to shrink my Au 50c round coins and my Au Florins on a doming block and a folding die, and they collapse sideways. I am tosing up weather to buy a one of these sets or spend the big bucks on a Str/Rdcr. I am currently using a Rathburn strecher, but that is already giving me the shits. Thanks Mate.
Hi Gary...that was a superb demo. Thank you. Just one question, where did you get that press?...so much smoother and quieter than the others I've seen.
Dave, Annealing is a heat treatment that alters the physical and sometimes chemical properties of a material to increase its ductility and reduce its hardness, making it more workable. It involves heating a material above its recrystallization temperature, maintaining a suitable temperature for an appropriate amount of time and then cooling. Cooling us usually done by quickly submerging the heated object in water.
cool demonstrate ,,,The video was very easy to understand thanks very much Gary
You are very welcome. I try to keep the videos easy to follow, and informative. Enjoy
Where did you get that black flat piece over the pusher to push down with the press.

Thank you. Northern Tool. Look for 10 ton Strongway. Works great with the Legacy 7x7 steel plate as well.
