We ship worldwide and coordinate rigging with teams experienced in heavy press handling.
What to Consider When Buying Used Stamping Presses
Stamping presses are the backbone of high-volume metal forming operations, and selecting the right used press requires understanding your production requirements. Key factors include:
Tonnage: Match press tonnage to your die requirements with a 20-30% safety margin. OBI (Open Back Inclinable) presses from 15-250 tons handle light to medium stamping. Straight side presses from 100-2,000+ tons provide the rigidity needed for progressive dies and deep drawing. Gap frame presses offer versatility for shorter runs.
Bed and stroke: Verify bed dimensions accommodate your largest die, including shut height, stroke length, and slide adjustment range. For progressive die work, bed accuracy and parallelism are critical.
Speed: Mechanical presses are rated in strokes per minute (SPM). High-speed presses from Bruderer, Minster, and AIDA run 200-1,500+ SPM for small parts. Standard presses typically run 20-100 SPM.
Brands like Bliss, Minster, Clearing (USM), Komatsu, AIDA, Stamtec, and Cincinnati are industry standards. Always check clutch/brake condition, gibs, slide parallelism, and electrical systems.
Stamping Equipment Cost & Pricing Guide
Used stamping press prices depend on tonnage, type, speed, and brand:

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of stamping presses does Meadoworks carry?
We stock OBI presses, straight side presses, high-speed stamping presses, gap frame presses, hydraulic presses, knuckle joint presses, and transfer presses from Bliss, Minster, Clearing, Komatsu, AIDA, Stamtec, Cincinnati, Danly, Niagara, and other manufacturers. Tonnage ranges from 15 to 2,000+ tons.
How do I choose between an OBI press and a straight side press?
OBI (Open Back Inclinable) presses are versatile and economical for lighter stamping work, blanking, and short-run production. Straight side presses provide superior rigidity and accuracy for progressive die work, deep drawing, and heavy-duty stamping. Straight sides handle higher tonnages and maintain tighter tolerances under load.
What should I inspect when buying a used stamping press?
Check clutch and brake condition (most critical wear items), gibbs and slide parallelism, counterbalance pressure, motor and flywheel condition, bolster and bed flatness, tonnage monitor calibration, and all safety systems including light curtains and dual palm buttons. Run the press at full speed with a die if possible.
Does Meadoworks sell coil handling equipment?
Yes, we carry complete coil feed lines including coil reels and uncoilers, coil straighteners and levelers, servo and air feeds, coil cradles, and threading tables. We stock equipment from Dallas Industries, Coe Press, Rowe, Littell, and other coil handling manufacturers.
How much does a used stamping press cost?
Used stamping press prices vary by type and tonnage. Small OBI presses (15-60 ton) start at $3,000-$10,000. Mid-range straight side presses (200-500 ton) cost $40,000-$150,000. Large production straight sides (500+ ton) can range from $100,000-$400,000+. Contact Meadoworks at 800-323-0307 for specific pricing.
