reefera4m Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Will these jacks function in any position ? They seem to. I saw one mounted upside down and it worked. I've had mine working horizontally when I was testing it. I don't know if the seals would eventually leak or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpotter Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I have been making small hydraulic presses for a few years and just converted one of mine to forging, they work great, i had been using the air over hydraulic jack to run the press to stamp the dies that I make so i made up a set of forging dies and holders. i made the dies out of s7 and they have been holding up real well i made some for hot cutting and drawing as well. i am going to make some stops so that i can forge to a specific thickness this week and make some more tooling for the press to hot form shapes. The video is from my website I hope it is ok to post it if not please delete it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM454 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Think I'll borrow ya pattern if you don't mind. Nice looking press. You could use some AR 400 for your dies if you want something to wear better. It will weld with preheat but, still hold up rather well.

kpotter Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I sell the whole thing all assembled unless you want to build it yourself I am using s7 for the dies they hold up real well I can also provide them in h13 wich ever you want I am glade you like it.
