20 Ton Press

[Vinny]

I have an old Wagner Electric 25 ton press. Currently the "plate" consists of a couple pieces of 4x4 - yeah, wood! But when the need arises I have a piece of 1.5" thick 4140 that will happily take their place. I've considered putting an air/hydraulic jack on it but can't seem to bring myself to spending $80+ on something that rarely gets used (even tho I do stuff like that on a regular basis). The one mod I did do, however, is put a valve handle on the release to make it easier to release the pressure. Got that idea from someone on Welding Web.
