  • Yes. I have a Fielding press, of 1929 model, which I have converted to an aluminium extrusion press. I need it’s data sheet or guide me to where I should go. Please comment!

    Ed: Thankyou for your contribution to our website. Interesting that you are still operating a Fielding machine of that age! You must realise that any records of that era approaching 100 years ago have now long-ceased to be available, however, should you care to upload photos of your press plus any details you have to identify the exact press in your possession, we may be able to display to the wider community that view our website and they may be able to assist you.
