I just bought one of these presses this afternoon - I've been putting it off for months, looking at all the vids online. This is the first "new" batch of info/suggestions I've seen. Good stuff - thanks!
Great Vajayo! Just got a commercial 20ton press but I know a lot of this info is going to be useful! Love the way you designed a small diameter press adapter from a grade 8 bolt!!!! Note: I saw someone just used tool draw liner to make up the space to take the play out but this is so much better.
Awesome mods you did. I’ll be copying you as I hate the amount of slop these come with out of the box. I’ll also be adding the air/hydraulic ram that HF sells as well. These two mods together should make for a really handy tool. Thx for sharing

When I bought my HF press 10 or 12 years ago , I simply tack welded shims in the top moving beam to take the play out ...
Good thinking, good work too... Thanks for sharing.
I saw the modified jack valve handle... How did you do that?
