Abstract

An upsetting press for width reduction of rolled stock, in particular slab width reduction in hot-rolled wide strip mills, includes supports (2) for pressing dies (1) located along opposite slab edges. The pressing dies (1) are detachably connected to the supports (2) by at least one elongated prestressable tie rod (3) rotatably mounted in each support (2). The tie rod (3) has a hammer shaped tie rod head (5) which engages in a recess (6) in the pressing die (1). The recess (6) is open on one surface for receiving the tie rod (3) so that the head abuts against and holds the pressing die against the support (2).
