Not too long...the chop saw did not like it at all though lol. Invested in an 8×13 bamdsaw and it doesnt even blink cutting the rod or the forklift tines.

It will haul a lot just not the easiest to turn. Ive had 500lbs on it and forward and reverse no problem but turning is easier if you have someone in front helping.

@@esotericpriest oh, if you take the keyway out of one wheel or free it up somehow. It will the be easy to turn. Maybe you can drill and put a pin through both wheels so you can have the ability to switch wheels.

Yeah on my third build which I posted a couple days ago I went back to air/hydraulic. Cylinder retracts so much faster for some reason. The new build I posted a couple days ago is by far my favorite design so far. Will keep building and tweaking every time. But the new design is very close to being perfect for what I like.

I sourced most of the new steel from left overs from local salvage place...had about $300 in the steel. The roller were amazon like $20 for 10 so have enough for 2 more presses. The pump and cylinder were like $460 Vevor brand and the hoist was $130 Vevor brand. Saw blades annular cutters cutting fluid and misc hardware were approximately another $300. The casters were another salvage find got a great deal on them. The cable I already didnt use the original the cable clamps I already had. The I beams were 6x6 with 3/8 flange the top and bottom plate were 1/2 flange so I doubled them up with 1/2 plate for 1" total thickness. It was just over 6ft tall and the legs were 32" wide to be able to fit through most doorways. The total width of press was 4ft with 3ft table and roughly 24" of horizontal travel. The plate the ram pushes against was layered 1/2 plate to total of 2" thickness with the front cover plate and back cover plate 1/2 thick welded on a 90° to bolt the roller wheels to. Roller wheels also Amazon for like $15 or something. All in I figure I was around $1000 because even though it was slightly more than that I have things left over that I will not have to buy for the next press. Which I plan on starting soon. Got a big belt grinder Im refurbishing and when its done will start on the next press. It will be a little different design. Saw an Enerpac design that I really like and I believe will be a little easier to build.

I think I covered all your questions...if not let me know. Happy to answer anything I can!!!

If you count the mag drill and dry cut chop saw through in another $700 but I had those already.

Oh and the pins for the table also slavage. They were pins from catwalks for oil platforms. Dont remember length on those but cut to be symmetrical same out the back as was out the front.

The press plates were just 1x3 bar stock that were cut same width as press table which I think was 12" total. 6" working gap and 3" flange on both sides.

Thanks....not an engineer but Im pretty sure it would support a 75 ton cylinder based on the 75 ton presses Ive seen for sale. I will be building a press brake attachment for it soon as well as giving it a coat of paint.

Ive got like 30+ foot of work/tool bench...got junk piled up on it from using different stuff to build this but pretty good on bench space. Unless there was a specific build you are refering to....

Thanks!

Thats a great idea dad!!!

I used the 35cc motor of a weedeater mated to a small outboard leg.

Sounds like you have a good plan in mind. Im sure it will work out well. Wish you the best! Post a video and tag me when you get it done would love to see your mods!

Sold that rig...sorry bud...it worked great though my wife especially liked it lol...got a "lower unit" from Kayak Buddy out of Florida and put it on a 35cc Honda 4 stroke trimmer head and it worked like a charm...run you about 6-7 mph...

I dont remember man Im sorry. It was an extra wide stadium seat got from walmart in store.

No problem bud. I was hoping it would help fellow diy'ers. And if you have a scrap yard close its super cheap to source the tubing and channel. Have fun and stay out there!!! Glad I could help!!!

Idk bud. I bought that off a friend years ago. It was in the middle of a field on his property with trees growing up through it. Had to clean it all up and repaint/redeck it.

I hate ford and dodge. Chevy is the best.

Will check cant remember off the top of my head. Will check tomorrow when I log in.

I was wearing Battalion Defender body Malabeth the Scourger monster helm set and Crest of Cyrodiil snb frontbar with ice staff back and jewelry. All health enchants on body and shield. With defending backbar enchant. The jewelry had block cost reduction enchants. Cp mainly toward self healing and blocking. Built specifically to run with a bomber or be a res machine for a larger group. This built was even strong enough to fend off the hammer until he figured out he couldnt kill me. I got the front bar skills setup for max defense. Got the heal ghost, beckoning armor, hungry sythe, lingering flare and defensive posture from snb skill line. The ghost takes 10% of your damage lingering flare reduces damage taken just being slotted and defensive posture increases the amounth you can block and decreases block cost.

Ive got the necro purge, ele drain, braided tether, necrotic potency and detonating syphon on backbar. Ive got pestulent colossus on front ulti for group help and the necro res ulti backbar for group help. I though about front barring the necro bone colossus ulti but this build can already withstand a MASSIVE amount of incoming damage. I will play around with it more and see what I like best. But as you can see it takes like 15 hard hitters swarming you to bring you down. The biggest thing that I have found out from limited play time is before buring out all your stam and swapping bars keep a little because a sorc streak is a stun that cant be blocked and if you dont break free fast with that many people on you you can be killed faster than you might want so I suggest not going below a quarter stam before swapping to block on backbar. That way you always have stam to break free from a sorc streak.

And running tripots and smoked bear haunch food. Think I had 45 points in health and the rest in stam.

That's all a simple Chevy owners mind can think of. Cracked Head Every Valve Rattles Oil Leaks Engine Ticks

Was definitely tired that day...
