You just need to make some fullering dies. Ed essentially described them above. Think drawing dies but turned 90 degrees. Want me to send you a picture of the ones I made for my 12 ton?
If you are viewing your dies from above your press they need to face like this II and not like this =.
The billet will never get wider if you do not push the metal in that direction. With the dies facing parallel with the steel when squished it will push the steel outwardly making your billet wider. After you do that some hit it with the flat dies again to even out the high spots and it will get wider. Repeat until you are happy.
