Oh NO!! Yet an other hydraulic press DIY video on YT? Yes, I just needed an hydraulic press/press brake for other projects so I've built one, and filmed the process to make kind of a tutorial.
This hydraulic press is made, as many others you may find on youtube, around a jack bottle capable to raise up to 6 ton of weight. So this press should make a pressure up to 6 ton (provided the stated value is real), but the frame could be capable of handling up to 12 ton, with reinforced weldings on the top of the frame (in the video they are not).
The pressure defined in ton is a jargon to indicate the equivalent weight it can hold (or press), but this leads to a lot of potential misunderstanding and mistakes because it should be accounted in pascal or in kg per sqared meter (or in psi for you imperial guys). This will be discussed better in a next video, and the link will be placed here, and since I do not post at a regular pace if you want to not miss it consider to subscribe and click the bell icon to be notified when the video will be up.
