Hey Chuck,

How many tons? What size stock to make the frame? What kind of welds/bolts?

Thanks
Mark

Hey Mark,
This is  my press design. It evolved over many years, and answers most of the deficiencies found in many presses used for hot work:

The power pack is separate to minimize leak danger and noise levels.
It used a compensated piston pump.

He tells me that he used it this past summer. It is in need of some TLC, but the motor/tank/lines are all encased on the back side of the unit. It looks like the lines will need to be replaced, but that isn't a big deal. The major concern I have now is getting it delivered and I need to know what size pad I should pour if I can't fit it in my garage. I am going to go back when the weather is better and get some pics/measurements. I'll keep you all informed.
