kevin (the professor) Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 looks very nice. If you are near New Haven ct, and you would want to build another, let me know. sometime within the next 12 months, I have to get one of these. I can't use a power hammer here, and I think a press may be better for me due to where I live. Also, Don Fogg rec's that a press is the best single power assist tool to get, if you can only afford one. kc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Gilmore Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Clinton, It is a barnes 16 gpm 2 stage pump. I got it from Surplus Center. 1-800-488-3407 My Baldor motor came with the pump adapter. I think Northern Hyd. carries the pump also. Randy, If you look at the damascus photo, sorry I didn't realize it was such a big file, you can see how the dies drop in the bottom and slide in the top.
