Hey Everyone...
Planning on close to the same controls.. I have a guy that is AMAZING and making neat things happen.. He is going to help me with all the electronics and controls along the way.
I am now working at a machine shop so I have an even better idea about more roomI am going to shorten the cylinder.. I don't need 18-22 inches of rod so why not cut, and shorten it
Easier than cutting all the welds and making it look worse.....
I plan to do that once we get the rest of the press together and see where I am...
I GOT SOMETHING REALLY COOL I am going to add to this press.. I KNOW it is going to rock!!!!!!
Upper die mount is almost all together now and I will be fitting that next... Lot's of photos to come shortly..
Also I will have a schematic drawn up and made a pdf and I will post it here of the controls shortly....

That should work out ok but isnt that a welded cylinder? is there a certified pressure vessel welder in the shop where you work? you will be working with 2500-3000 psi in the cylinder and it will be in the vicinity of your head!!
