Claim:
A forging press, said press comprising: a support side being stationary in a shaping procedure, said support side including; a main body, a die having a front abutment surface and a rear side, a workpiece having rearward and forward ends, an abutment, having a front and rear end, for said rearward end of said workpiece, a first setting device having a screw threaded spindle arranged on said support side for setting a closing height spacing, a second setting device having a screw threaded spindle for adjustment of a longitudinal position of said abutment with respect to said front abutment surface of said die, said first and second setting devices are coupled by coupling of said screw threaded spindles or by a common control of said screw threaded spindles such that a change in the closing height spacing by means of said first setting device automatically causes consequential adjustment of said abutment by means of said second setting device so that spacing between said front abutment surface of said die and said abutment remains unchanged; and an impact side having a carriage with a punch, the carriage being movable in a longitudinal direction in the shaping procedure.
