Re: Hydraulic press
Any little Repco or similar 20 tonne hand pump job is fine.
Re: Hydraulic press
X2 thats all I have and it dose just about anything I toss its way. Just find a lot of old cut offs and left overs that are strong steel to use as dies. Keeping old bearings around is always handy. Try not to use sockets in a press as they like to explode and take eyes out with them.nayto wrote:Any little Repco or similar 20 tonne hand pump job is fine.
If you shop around you can find the 20 tom press's for around $160 to $200

NOT a very good idea to use old bearings, as any sort of tool or die around presses, very dangerous when the case hardened races explode and imbed sharp bits of metal that far into your body that you have to get them surgically removed, have seen it happen first hand!

I started life with nothing, and I still have most of it!
