1977 Hudson F-40 Hydraulic Clicker PressThis 1977 Hudson F-40 is a classic "swing-arm" hydraulic clicker press that remains the gold standard for high-visibility die cutting. Built with heavy-duty Italian iron, this unit (Serial #771306) offers a 15-ton striking force and is currently configured for 220V 3-phase operation.Unlike newer, lightweight alternatives, the 1977 F-40 is prized for its massive cast-iron frame, which provides the rigidity necessary for clean, consistent cuts through heavy leather, rubber, and industrial gaskets. This machine has been well-maintained and represents a reliable, "over-built" solution for any fabrication shop requiring a 40" x 20" cutting bed.Key Highlights:1977 Vintage: Known for superior casting quality and long-term mechanical durability.Large 40" Table: Offers ample workspace for large material sheets and complex die layouts.Dual-Voltage Versatility: Equipped with a 220/440V motor, making it easy to adapt to your shop's specific electrical service.15-Ton Precision: Delivers the power needed for thick materials without sacrificing the "feel" required for delicate artisanal work.Technical SpecificationsYear of Manufacture: 1977Series: F-40 Swing ArmCountry of Origin: Italy (Fipi Resse for Hudson Machinery)Cutting Force: 15 TonsMotor: 2 HP, 220/440V, 3-Phase (Currently wired for 220V)Table Size: 40" x 20"
