Hi there. I work in the safety industry and I have seen a lot of ejections with these presses. The larger the press, the bigger the ejection can become. I would highly recommend installing a curtain or shield to protect yourself if you build this.

This was a quick project which will help me a lot with the upcoming projects! Let me know what you think! :)
Thanks for watching!

Spoko robota. Podnośnik można łatwo przerobić by działał "do góry nogami". Kwestia przedłużenia rurki zasilającej pompkę. Mniej zabawy by było.

I truly appreciate these videos! The only problem is these are for those with large shop tools and not for the small hobbyist tools.

I was hoping to make something like this for my school project and was wondering if there were any plans available for this build that I would be able to purchase?

Хорошая работа, у меня один вопрос, вам доводилось максимально нагружать пресс, то есть 20 тонн? есть ощущение что швеллер таких нагрузок не выдержит

And a Very Merry Christmas to you And a Happiest New

je suis curieux je voudrez savoir pourquoi tu soude des pièces au semi et d'autre au tig quelle et la raison toujours un plaisir de regardée tes tuto

But I was wondering if you put nylon sliders it would stop the paint from scratching off ?

[IvanGOrtolan]

Any reccomendation on where to source steel? I checked in the cheap online store where I bought pipes and 6 C beams comes at 222€ already.. Are you sourcing from distributors?

Hello, I'm Dario Bracamonte, from Argentina.
I really like your videos, I see that you drink mate, I am a fan of Mate.
I would love to give you a typical mate from my area.
I live in Formosa.
Do you like bitter or sweet mate??
I send you a huge hug and continue with the videos.

Sadly, In my country the steel alone cost more than a new press in the box.

[zajonczek]

Nice job, but I think test with nokia 3310 is a fake :D
