DIY Hydraulic Press

Homemade Hydraulic Press.
This design doesn't rely on the strength of the welds, instead the strength comes from the steel pins.
I used a "50t" bottle jack off ebay - so far it has operated flawlessly!.
I needed this for a one-off project that required 1000mm of bed space between the posts.
As you can see in the test pictures this press easily bent 16mm steel plate, which is more than I will ever need(hopefully).
I know! I prefer video too. I never intended to upload these on YT.
Video projects coming soon...
