Just finished building this press, seems to work great.. Anyone else have some custom press builds out there ? Let' see what you built !! https://www.dropshots.com/Marshallthomas2017/date/2017-12-30/15:38:48
Hi Thomas, That is one impressive press I'm just finishing up building a bench top 20-ton air over hydraulic press based loosely on Dan Comeau's design. I still have to mount some springs to help with the jack return rate and finish off a few sets of dies. I designed this press so it can be disassembled as I have very limited working space. The load is contained in the picture frame, with 4 top and 4 bottom 3/4 inch grade 8 bolts. It was fun to build and if I had more space I would build something bigger. there is a link to some images. https://photos.app.goo.gl/IzkDumGaEI4v0uMN2 James
looks just like a Coal Iron Works press! I like that design. Where did you source all your hydraulic components? I would like to build a press but am a little overwhelmed when it comes to figuring out what and where to get all the hydraulic parts.
