Course duration
Running over four consecutive eight-hour days, Wilkur Forge Power Forge Advanced courses are scheduled as per our training calendar. Maximum participant numbers are reduced in this course as we work under one hammer and a hydraulic forging press, which gives participants more time using these machines.
Please note - Power Forge Advanced is NOT included in Power Forge Intensive.
Workshop facilities
Power Forge Advanced runs with two to four participants who use coke forges in conjunction with the Bucyrus Erie-branded 50kg (1cwt) single-acting pneumatic hammer, the B & S Massey 153kg (3cwt) Clear Space pneumatic hammer and the 110t hydraulic press. Maximum participant numbers are reduced in this course as this gives participants more time using these machines. Other workshop tools are used as required in co-operation with fellow participants. There is plenty of room to move and time to ask questions and learn.
The pace is quite fast and the work challenging in Power Forge Advanced as this course is intended to replicate industrial work.
