Actually.... I believe he goes by "historical arms"
The UofC Mech Eng Dep would break the bolts for you, if you asked nicely.
I'm betting that there are a lot of substandard bolts out there with fraudulent markings.
historic alarms. just change your handle now. that's gold baby. lol
Don't feel bad.... That's how I read it to
eotrfish straightened me out about that. I guess they had a good chat about Gatling guns at the last meet up.

LOL...I guess an appropriate space or hyphen would sure have been appropriate there wouldn't it... but never thought of it at the time as some forums won't allow anything but lettering in titles or usernames...and no worries on the entirely plausible reading of the name...in my professional career I was a heavy construction supervisor so am quite used to being referred to in substantially less flattering terms than Historical Alarms.
now back to the bolt thingy...I'm not concerned about the bolt strength as I would have bought a softer one if I could have, I just needed a fine tread bolt with perfect threads. I was just surprised that the file cut into a bolt that I thought it would just skate over.

Your press looks great.
We used to cut B7 studs for gas plants etc (60s and 70s) and they were considered the best threaded fasteners they could use. Interestingly, B7 threaded rod stayed with 8TPI on diameters over 1" up to 7" dia. We made equivalents from 4140 steel.

No one commented on the pink fingernails?
Nothing wrong with them. Just not expected.

I wonder if it's possible to make nice jewelry on this press? My mother loves different necklaces and earrings, and I thought that handmade jewelry would be a great Christmas present idea. My husband and I could do it together, and make something for his mother as well. Probably we could rent a piece of equipment or borrow it from someone. But what kind of machinery is suitable for this type of work? Do we need this 20-ton press or some other equipment? I was thinking of designing a pendant and buy a chain for it separately. I am considering making a butterfly heart-shaped pendant without any complicated traceries.
Welcome from Calgary @DianaPowell. Perhaps @Chris Cramer can answer this question for you; he does this kind of work I believe.
