Dragons lair Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Can't find my hyd book but it should be around 30 tons. Now thats a squisher. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Y Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 That is one pretty press. Nice build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkustom Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 I figure right around 30 tons as well. I am fabricating a box to enclose the tank and hoses. I have been sqishing some 5160 and its like butter!!! I will see if I can get someone to video the press in action. Thanks for your input!

rthibeau Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Is there any special method for filling the press up with hydraulic oil...like for bleeding out air pockets, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welder19 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hyd. systems are self bleeding, work the cyl. back and forth and they work the air out on their own. welder19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
