According to the Goetz Catalogue, the Model 80B End Wheel Power Press is “Ideal for punching, blanking, shearing and forming operations”, …and making horseshoes!

A variant, the 80BG, was also available for use with heavier gauge metals.

Thanks to Ben Embury from Embury Forge of Shelbourne, near Bendigo VIC, for the following photos of his 80B. Ben’s dad Peter set up their machine to make souvenir horseshoes, making all the dies/punches himself. Ben continues to use the 80B to make horseshoes, selling them all around Victoria.

Ben had the flywheel off to do maintenance work on the brake system and sent the following photos. Also below are the Goetz catalogue pages for the Model 80B. Click here to download the four catalogue pages as a PDF, or click the thumbnail image below.
