Forging press.

 

[Dub11]

Forging press.

For wood?

 

[67L36Driver]

For wood?

Steel.

Billet heated to near white hot and squeezed in press to the ruff shape of finished shaft.

Huge chain there is so you can squeeze and turn over and over to reduce the diameter. Change dies, reheat and repeat. Impart fatigue strength and reduce the amount of finish machining.
