  • The purpose of a press frame is to press on or off bearings, bushings etc. You can also make fixtures for bending steel of any sort. It's quite a handy tool. #shoppress #press #hydraulicpress #hydraulic #pressframe #hydraulicjack #DIY #homemade #DonnDIY #eestiyoutuber

    I borrowed my mate's 12 ton press.....3 years ago! and it's still in my shed. Needless to say I have all the steel needed to construct my own press and took delivery of a 30 ton bottlejack a few weeks ago. I'm esung 4" channel for the sides. Must get it built before "lending" the owner his own press.
    Your video was very helpfull, great job on your own.👍

      Greetings, respected... Per minute {10:42}.... What are the specifications of the stand drill that you use to drill holes in metal?! How much is written on it, the highest size that can be punched?!... Because I want to buy something like it.. Please do not neglect this message of mine, I am waiting for you

  • @markalbrecht2444
    @markalbrecht2444 5 років тому +6

    Great job it looks just like the one I built , you might want to put a set of steel casters on it so you can move it around the shop . Tugging and pulling on that can really mess up your back, if your shop was like my shop space was tight and it seems like I was moving it all the time . When you make a press brake for it you'll move it around for more room to bend long pieces.

    that looks like a very functional design! I like it. Your way of making videos is great as you go into it pretty much right away. Also it is very easy to follow along and you show clearly what you do and for what so it is easy to follow along and make myself one too. Keep making them great vids man!

    I built my press with an I beam for the top, welded between 2 120mm square 5 mm thick posts about 900mm high, drilled a few holes same as vid, used similar adjustable foot/ base plate as per this vid, most of the work I do is in the top part, so a full floor mount press is not necessary, I use an Enerpac porta power with various sizes of jacks, and I can easily move it around and place it on a bench, one can make it in no time out of scrap steel.

    @douglasthompson2740 6 років тому

    Hello again, Just found your channel and seem to be binge watching! I made a large press frame of my own in many ways similar to yours about thirty years ago. One addition that is quite helpful, under the hydraulic jack base instead of a stationary push rod I welded an two inch, thick wall (schedule 80) steel pipe. Then I welded a fine thread nut on that (I believe it was 1 1/2" NFT). I then threaded a four inch long fine thread bolt into it for the actual push rod. I can thereby fine tune that last bit of clearance before applying pressure. I use it all the time. I also designed mine for fifty ton with a 36" inner width and put castors under the base for shifting around the shop. Nice project. Take care. Doug

    One thing i would've done differently though is to weld thick plates on the "sled" instead of the thin ones.
    Could maybe be dangerous with that little amount of in/out movement stability.

    That is a nice looking press, well done!
    The only little bit of question is, right at the 9:05 mark and onwards for a few seconds,..did you notice that the plate/pad for the jack to sit on, rose up a tad as it was welded ? Would that make the jack sit on a bit of slant, or wouldn't it make any difference under pressure load?
