- Follow along as I build a 30 ton Hydraulic Forge Press. This is Part 1 of at least a 2 part series, where I build the bare bones frame, the head, and the hydraulic cylinder mounts.

NOTE -
YOU MUST HAVE A PRESSURE GUAGE INSTALLED IN ORDER TO ADJUST PRESSURE*
TO ADJUST PRESSURE - Turn Adjustment Screw CLOCKWISE to INCREASE Pressure / Turn COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to DECREASE Pressure
Route Port A of Valve to Top Port on Cylinder, and Port B of Valve to Bottom Port on Cylinder in order to have the ram engage when toe on foot pedal is pressed down. The handle will engage the ram when pressed toward ceiling, and will retract the ram when handle is pulled down.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my video. I hope you enjoyed it!
I thought that press looked familiar in your Damascus video. 😜. Great build so far! 👏🏻
Haha...you are a great inspiration, I would not be this far on my journey if it weren't for you, and a few others like you, so THANK YOU!
@GhostMade217 is there anyway you could send me a list of all the materials you used. I'm looking to build my own press. I'm a veteran and need to save as much money as possible thanks.
Solid video GhostM@de! Can’t wait to see that beast squish some steel!
Thanks bro! yeah that"ll be in Part 3 where I wrap this build up
I’m curious what type of milling machine you’re using?
sorry so late but its a LittleMachineShop.com mini mill
Nice video, keep Grinding....
Great video !! I built a press with the help of this video . I just built a second press and the cylinder extends at normal speed but retracts really slow any idea what could be going wrong?
honestly I have no idea sorry, maybe the solenoid needs adjusted or the press could be binding or dragging as it retracts??? I'm in no way a hydraulics expert just know enough to get myself in trouble haha
Right on! I appreciate your time, I ended up figuring it out I ordered the wrong control valve it was single acting… thank you!
Returned to first video after wathcing all 3. Overall - pretty well made press! one thing from original press is missing - angle irons that are protecting gaps between I-beams and moving head from all scale that can fall into that gaps and lead to some issues in the future.
Also I want to ask - why don't you mount top cyliner holder same way, as you did with bottom one (I mean, why don't you just bolt it to head) ?
What is the max tonnage this design would support?
its a 30 ton build not sure about max tonnage tho sorry
@@GhostMade217 I'm wanting to make a 100 ton press. That's why I asked.
is this a 3 phase build sir?
yes IIRC
Did you have someone the voice over? Great build!
Thanks, and no I narrated the video myself - definitely my least favorite part.
Bro very good job now I like seeing guys that get things done the right way I can tell your just like me at doing this kinda stuff love it keep up the great work bud
man I appreciate that more than you know
Great build,I want to make/convert something similar for folding, Nice job so far.
Thank You! That would be very cool.
It doesn't look like your parts links worked. It seems like the full links were missing.
Thanks for letting me know, Ill try to get those working asap
Hopefully that small flux cored wire feeder Hobart got enough penetration given the fact that the hydraulic press puts out tremendous force continuously trying to rip itself apart. I know you were worried about too much heat warping the frame but with proper clamping you really shouldn’t need to worry about that especially with thicker material and clamping. Personally I’d have stick welded that as hot as you can burning in your beads in short lengths and moving around like you did but really laid down some hot and beefy welds instead of a flux cored wire feeder doing multiple passes with lesser welds but I do hope it works out for you
been going strong for over a year now and haven't torn one weld yet...Ive given it a run for its money too...I did have to replace the 1/4" angle holding the "head" in with 3/8" 3x3 angle because the force caused them to warp and started causing binding...but you're right stick would have been better I just don't have one
@@GhostMade217 glad it worked out for you, I’ve seen it when the welds fail under pressure and it isn’t pretty
thats not a Press, thats a PRESSS ! wow, cool.
Haha, thanks
