hydraulic press plans ???????/

[B . Buxton]

Howdy,

Does anyone have a detailed set of hydraulic press plans that they would be willing to share. I'm trying to figure out just exactly what I need , material and money wise, to make a 20-25 ton press before I take the big plunge. Give me an e-mail if you do, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you in advance

Bill

Bill I think Ron Claiborne has a sete of plans that he and Harley put together. Give him a try.

Last I checked, Don Fogg sells Bill Bastons hydraulic press plans, which are excellent. I know, as I built a 24 ton press according to these, and it works as advertised. There is also a wealth of knowledge about simple hydraulics, steel stresses, what exactly to look for as far as all components and where to find them. I borrowed the set I used, but I think they're only about $25, and well worth it. www.dfoggknives.com
