If I want to cut round bar by using power press instead of billet shear. What would happen.
Does anyone know the structure difference between power press and billet shear.
I am wondering if it is going to damage the press if I use 150tons power press and make shearing die to cut round bar Dia36mm.

If you use a proper die set in the power press with tooling guideposts you should not have any problems. That diameter of bar will only use a fraction of the 150 tons unless the steel is super hard.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

yes exactly you should have proper die set in power press so that there should be no problem.
