A new toy!
I purchased an Enerpac hydraulic pump along with a 20 ton hydraulic cylinder at a garage sale. I will also keep you updated on the whole process of using this hydraulic press.
Here is a pic of the press i just put together using the above hydraulic jack, on a 30 ton H frame shop press that I found for sale on Craigslist for 60 dollars.
And here is a sample of of a few things I created using the above press.
This press is working out great. A few weeks after I started using the hydraulic jack, I had to replace the gasket in it. Other than regular maintenance it's working great.
The plastic I made the die from, was originally the board portion of a clip board bought at a second hand store.
