Welcome to another exciting episode of Beyond the Press, where we take you behind the scenes of creating our unique transparent tools for our 150 ton hydraulic press seen on hydraulic press channel.
In this episode, we dive deep into the process of designing, machining, polishing, and testing our latest creation - transparent tools made from high-quality acrylic. We've invested 3000€ into these plastics to ensure we're working with the best materials possible.
Watch as we transform these raw materials into fully functional, transparent tools through a meticulous process of design and machining. Our workshop is buzzing with the sounds of lathes, milling machines, and polishers, all working in harmony to bring our vision to life.
We'll guide you through every step of the process, from the initial design sketches to the final polishing touches. You'll see firsthand how we maintain the transparency of the acrylic while ensuring the tools are robust and functional.
But we're not just about the process - we're also about the results. That's why we put our transparent tools to the test, demonstrating their effectiveness and durability.
This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in machining, workshop processes, tool creation, or simply enjoys watching a satisfying transformation from raw materials to finished product.
Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to Beyond the Press for more behind-the-scenes looks at our workshop and the fascinating world of tool creation.

Whenever I wanted to order something along these lines - a unique request - and got the "can't do it / impossible to do it", I usually interpreted these in some cases as "I can't be arsed with that, you are not worth my time". Fair enough. On the other hand, when I was on the receiving end of such requests (our shop worked with sheet metal), those were often my favourite assignments.

@Reman1975 11 ай бұрын

Yeah. A lot of the time, when someone says "It can't be done" or "It won't work", it's because it can't be done BY THEM, or they don't want to risk getting blamed if it DOESN'T work. I vaguely remember reading somewhere a thing that said "The easiest way to achieve the impossible is not to KNOW that it's impossible". I'm a trained engineer, and I had the blinkers of "The correct way to do [XYZ]" fitted on me by that education, so I always find it amazing to watch the seemingly crazy ways UNTRAINED engineers find to do things on KZfaq. I'll see something and think "That'll NEVER work", but then it does!?!? For this reason, I like watching what Ivan Miranda does on his channel. His channels well known for 3d printing stuff, but he's recently started doing basic metal machining using a huge DIY CNC router that he's designed and built. On his projects, some of the design choices he makes seem really weird, but it's because he comes to metal engineering from a area where you add material to create the part, where classical engineering is almost entirely about removing material. Also a tapped thread in a 3d printed part is a horrendously weak fixing method, so even when working in alloy, he still does some really odd tricks to avoid having to bolt directly into material....... But some of the "incorrect" techniques that he uses actually work really well, and may have applications where they'd be a better option that the more traditional approaches. This is quite an eye opening experience.

@webfraek12 11 ай бұрын

For future iterations you may want to consider a design that uses a moving cylinder. This has several advantages: The piston no longer has to be see through so it can be made from steel. Any leakage flows downwards and does not block the view of the holes. No air-gap between between the cylinder and the holes in the piston should improve visibility. Disadvantage would be that it is more difficult load fruit in the cylinde because it is upside down. Might have to balance the fruit on the piston.

Acrylic is very sensitive to solvents, even isopropyl alcohol will cause it to develop cracks; your first attempt at polish may have failed because many polishes contain hydrocarbon solvents. The best polish I have found for acrylic is a spray foam made for polishing it, it contains very fine abrasive particles and gives an excellent finish.

I learned this in my late teens after cleaning my acrylic bong w Iso Alcohol. Still lasted quite some time even w the cracks but I ended up trashing it when I moved houses.

I have been simply captured by your great video. It has taken me back to my youth in the early 70's, when at school we had the craziest physics teacher. He never failed to impress us with his wild experiments, underpinned by academic theory. He challenged us to embrace our creative and academic thoughts. At home our garden shed, became my domain for experimentation. I am proud to state that I only started three fires in that shed, but I did succeed in generating several large bangs that brought my parents and neighbours running to see if I was okay. I did though have some success, especially in developing small wind turbines suitable for home use. Keep up the great work, I am sure you will inspire our younger generations to greater things.

Hey, thanks for the tip about the coarser compound! I had some scratches in my car wood panel interior that I had tried to polish out with the High Polish compound, but they turned cloudy. I thought it was not fine enough and gave up. Now I went in with the High Cut compound instead, and I got the scratches out and a mirror finish without any cloudiness!

@SolarusFFXI 11 ай бұрын

Really enjoyed this video, seeing how you do things in the workshop and build things, for more mayhem on the HPC videos. It's fun seeing stuff get crushed, but it's really interesting seeing the process , especially when you're not sure how it'll turn out. Would love to see more videos like this in the future! I know they're probably a pain to film and maybe not as popular as the regular videos, but maybe for stuff that you already need to build anyway, it's good to put the cameras on and explain as you work on it.

@SeanBZA 11 ай бұрын

Acrylic is very easy to machine, but you need sharp tooling to get a good result. Will cut better with coolant, which is best to be water alone. To have a material that is a pain to machine try PTFE, which is both hard to cut accurately, and also likely to need to be cut thin as well. There you want both ultra sharp tools, and also cooling, as it softens with heat, plus it will deform and move away from the cutting bit, instead of cutting. One of the times dry ice is a good thing, to freeze it to a more solid state.

@MetalheadAndNerd 11 ай бұрын

Interesting. I always thought that acrylic was awful to drill or mill since it chips and cracks or the drill bit gets stuck. Maybe I need sharper tools.

You should always anneal acrylic, even after you cut it with "just normal" tools, because it builds up internal stresses so quickly that can eventually crack it - especially if you use them for a hydraulic press 😅. Place the samples in an oven at 80 C for like a whole weekend...

The trick with plastic is cut fast and get the chips/curls out as they can melt in place and weld the tool to the workpiece. Use HSS tooling that is razor sharp for best cuts, most inserts are not sharp enough for clean cuts. The straight fluted drill is a Reamer.
