My 20 ton press came with square base plates with 2 different size half circle cut outs either end and V notches in the other two sides which makes them ideal for pushing bushes out . Ebay sells them .
I have the exact same press just rebadged but i wondered on attaching threaded rod on each base plate and then a nut at the outside on the lower working surface so the plates cant skid out, also make a lip that tucks under the surface so the plates slide back n forth (sorry if that's vague) merry hot christmas eh, we've just had minus43c.
Those base plates are dangerous in that press. They should all have a piece that is welded underneath and sits between the rails. this prevents the plates from exiting the press if the stack fails. If you have a welder and a bit of angle iron about I would strongly recommend welding a couple of pieces underneath to locate the base plates in the frame. The direction should be across the rails {but inside and underneath with clearance} not along as if the get bent they can stick. The guide should be at least 2/3 of the bases c channel height. The base plates would also benefit from a v cut out of them in the middle to help locate things centrally and also add more contact area in use. Please don't use clamps in the press to maintain the stack. The press will nearly always defeat the clamp and the stack will fail. The drift kit is an excellent accessory, nothing worse than having to use a socket and installing it like a bush. LOL
I have some ideas to modify the press and make it more user friendly. I'll incorporate some of your suggestions too. The accessory kit is fantastic. Cheers
I have always thought, if something like a bush is stuck and will not come out at 5 tonnes then it will still be stuck at 20 tonnes so that should be all that you need.
I speak as the owner of a 30 ton press. I recently replaced the front shock absorbers on my LDV 200 pickup. The offside lower bolt refused to budge so I unbolted the bracket from the front axle and put under my press. It eventually gave way with one almighty bang at around 29 tones of effort. The nearside shock absorber lower bolt twisted out easily with my fingers! Just goes to show that some jobs can both easy and extremely hard. Anyways, I've enjoyed watching you video, and you have given very sound advice in my opinion. One thing I would recommend you do though is have the facility to bolt the press to the bench and keep it from rocking about in use. Regards, David from Dudley.
Howdy, howdy, howdy. Good stuff and we hear the birds there cheering you on. Very nice accessory kit. Good idea C clamping and vising the metal supports down. Oh and now I sea y ewe did that. You and your family enjoy the Lord's birthday. Happy Motoring.
find a place to burn out a plate with common hole sizes and use the plates under it, its what I use it makes it safer, find a machine shop to make some drifts and blocks they work better than a flat plate great video
you need to anchor that press down, even c clamps will work, with stuff under pressure and press tips over stuff can fly out and knock the hell out of you

Great video review on it actually working. Thank you, very helpful.

Can the jack be changed to maybe a 12 ton jack ??
Excellent presentation. Merry Christmas from Oklahoma
Thanks for watching
Add abit of heat from a MAF tourch or oxy if you have one, makes pressing out alot safer and easyer
That accessory kit is nice.
It makes a big difference. Cheers buddy
Good intro for press newbies like me - thank you 👍

I've just got a similar press and that's a great idea 👍 thanks
@@Badgertronix you know if that company ship to united states ?
is your press bolted down? i some times press the old bush out into a pipe of a similar diameter
Not yet. Pipe is a good option of you have it. Cheers
Brilliant video thank u 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
G’day mate would a Toyota landcruiser hub fit in there for doing rear Bering races.

There's some wise advice there. I wouldn't want to be pressing too much more without a safety cage.

i have one of theses presses good tool to have i made the legs longer to have it stand off the floor
i like the accessory tools have to get a set
The accessories are great, definitely recommend them. Cheers
Howdy, howdy, howdy.
Good stuff and we hear the birds there cheering you on.
Very nice accessory kit. Good idea C clamping and vising the metal supports down.
Oh and now I sea y ewe did that.

Festive greetings good buddy. Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas

That's a great idea. I'll get onto that in time for the next project. Cheers
I want one! I think I will wear a cricket box Lol. HubNut needs a press too Great vid 👍
Cricket box and shoulder pads probably a good idea! Cheers
I nearly acquired a press when I shut down an industrial laboratory, I just forgot to take it home before I left duh!
They're handy to have but do take up space. Shame you missed on that score
You're a handy neighbour to have. Think I might move into your 'hood.
He's equally handy to know. Head on over, you'd fit right in
I'd say this was a fair review.
Thank you

cool video 👍
Thanks
Nice press and 6 ton is plenty.
Plenty of power for me. Any more sounds sketchy
