This Heavy Duty Vertical Upsetter was primarily designed by Etchells to form AeroSpace Engine Turbine Blades and more specifically to form the ends of Jet Engine Turbine Blades up to 13” wide with a 2” thick upset on the ends. It was originally purchased and used by Rolls Royce. In the 1990’s it was sold to GE Aviation and fully rebuilt and upgraded by Etchells before being installed in one of GE’s USA plant sites. It was only used light and intermittently thereafter and was recently purchased by TrueForge. It is truly in Excellent condition.
It is still installed and may be inspected on request.
