Claim:
An extrusion press, comprising: a slide device of an extrusion stem; and an orthogonal billet loader that has a means for inserting a billet into a container and moves in a direction intersecting an axial direction of the extrusion press to supply a billet, wherein the billet is supplied to a space part from which the extrusion stem has slid and moved, wherein a shear cylinder and a shear guide capable of rotating in the direction toward the die and in a direction away from the die are attached facing downward to a fixed frame provided on the side of a container of an end platen that holds a die, a shear slide, the upper end part of which pivotally supports a piston rod of the shear cylinder and at the same time, to the lower end part of which a shear blade is attached, is provided to be guided within the shear guide in a sliding manner, and a discard cutting device is provided, which is configured so that the shear slide deforms at a curvature different from that of the fixed frame at the time of cutting a discard.
