Congratulations on the shop space addition! There's nothing else quite like the satisfaction of finishing a project that makes it easier to do other projects. :)
I do so love your "drawl" in as much as "I can do a little BUTTER" please don't change. Thank you for taking the time to video your projects and to edit and post them, the picture and audio quality are top notch. Please keep them coming. Regards, Rich from across the pond.
I have the same hydraulic press and I must say this is a common issue I run into as well. Great idea! I can't tell you how many times I have used my 1" drive sockets when I should have extensions exactly as you have made
Nice job Lee. Funny when I saw the pic on fb, and you asking what we thought they were, I knew right off the bat as I was breaching for the first time myself last Saturday!As far as a name? I just call them arbor pins!Take care, Razor!
Wish I could expand my shop Lee! That is a very logical idea and if I can find enough pieces of material (wish I had your 8' lengths) - I'll try and make some up extensions like yours. Great result.
Nice useful build of tooling, suggestion you could drill/tap the work end for a 1" bolt and have a fine adjustment of "X" inches and/or drill/tap the adjusting bolt with smaller tips
This is a practicatt add on to the shop press, I'm always looking for extensions or something to adjust the distance... ;) If you wanrt to save the tip of your inserts when you remove crappy surfaces like rust and pitting, remove in one pass by sinking the tip in healthy metal wheneve possible, this will save your inserts
Great project and addition to the press. Just curious; have the magnets been damaged during use or are they recessed enough not to take the load? Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Hi Lee, I think I'd refer to them as "press ram extensions". Seems to sum up their function. I also think you need to measure the length of the pin on the bottom of the ram and the distance between the anvil support holes. That would give a reasonable idea as to what length combinations of your extensions would work best. No point in making them the same distance as between the holes but maybe half or one and two thirds would be more useful. Along the idea of the magnet in the pocket would be to make a double ended pocket, maybe a magnet in each end and make the lower pocket the diagonal size of your broach "heads". Might need a few of them if you've got lots of sizes. That would reduce the likelihood of the ram and broach becoming misaligned in use and also stop the broach hitting the floor at the end of the stroke. Just a couple of ideas to fill your "idle hours". Don't know how you generate them. I can't seem to find any. Regards from Canada's banana belt.🤔🇨🇦🍌🥋🇺🇦🕊️🇺🇲🦃👍
Douglas Thompson I'm using some "no name" import inserts from an eBay seller. They are very inconsistent - some points seem to hold up good while others will chip shortly after being put to use. Once this pack of 10 is used up I plan to try to "name brand" ones just so I'm able to properly evaluate the difference. Thanks for stopping by.
So why not just drill 2 new holes for where the dowel pins set the height of the press table... a lot easier and lot less time consuming than making all of the other stuff
Get-The-Lead-Out.45 I set up three greenhouses, over 120 compressed 2-1/2 square 12 ga conduit ends crushed like a folded brown paper bag per end. Despite the aid of a pneumatic assist hydraulic cylinder each step in the compressing process which includes an angled wedge, increase the gap. Adding a one inch, then two inch then three inch extension to the stroke saved hours and the wear and tear of twenty hours of compressed air. Just a thought.

This is awesome thank you for sharing much appreciated 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Awesome job and you are a pleasure to watch.
Very nice solution for these presses.

Great build Lee , I would call those press pins ! Enjoyed .. thumbs up !
great build and upgrade for the press. great video as usual sir...magnet idea is great
Pragmatic extension is what I will be calling them! Glad you made these up. Will be great for broaching! Love your video's. Keep them coming
great idea and nice job. I see you using your pipe sander that you made, great tool also. Pragmatic extension is what I will be calling them for sure!
What a great idea! Thanx for your efforts!
Nice work and great video!👍🏻
This was a helpful video, thank you. 🙂
Wish I could expand my shop Lee!

Love the idea! I'm going to make some for the shop. Thank you!
Good Job, you could also make some small extensions for smaller diameter holes
They came out beautiful. Chris
Awesome. I'm trying to make attachments like this... ONLY i'm low on cash and making all of the attachments by hand. Great video
This is a practicatt add on to the shop press, I'm always looking for extensions or something to adjust the distance... ;)

OK they are Pragmatic extensions. Nice tool making.
Magnetic press extensions, pattern pending. LOL. great job.
Thanks for sharing this video.
Ok, saw this in the group, Yay! I am excited to see this
I wasnt aware that you could use a math function in the absolute mode on Touchdro. Thank you!
Were Can I buy!!!
Great project and addition to the press. Just curious; have the magnets been damaged during use or are they recessed enough not to take the load? Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Would you happen to have any press drifts for sale ?

Nice idea, Thanks !!!
Good idea.
lee interesting video nice work.
Those would really come in handy,compared to using impact sockets. I wondered myself what the name would be.
very cool video
How much to make me a set?
you do a lot in your little shop :)
Lawrence Harasim gaaaaayyy
I love the magnetic holding idea. Consider it stolen. Cheers.
Does the PM lathe have a carriage stop feature or did you add this feature to the lathe?
I am intrested in purchasing a set from you.
Those are nice but wouldn’t it be easier to just drill a hole between each of the existing holes on the uprights?
Do you happen to sell these by chance? I don’t have a lathe and going to a machine shop around here is super expensive.
Do u make these for customers??
Hello, What kind of inserts are you using and what do you think of them? Sharpness and longevity? Good project. Thanks. Take care. Doug

Or you can call them Persuader bar adapters
Id call them Pressure bar extension adapters
How much would you make the same set and sell for?
my version i didn't use magnets I just used threads. male on pins and female on press pin
Great idea, great work. Where did you get that adapter pipe sander?
How do you keep them from rusting?
Good Day, Do you make these to sell? I would like to purchase them if possible. I'm planning on getting myself a press soon. Let me know ASAP, Thanks!
Do you make and sale them
Good video, however the audio is distorted between roughly 10:21 and 10:24 just so you know. :-)
What DRO setup is that?
Dapping Punch-You can make different size,shapes and like what your doing is Dapping extensions.
So why not just drill 2 new holes for where the dowel pins set the height of the press table... a lot easier and lot less time consuming than making all of the other stuff

Nobody makes these. I bet you could sell these for a good profit.
They are called Press Ram Adapters? Go to Robert Forbus engineering we use these in the AK 47 industry. I like yours better.
Press Anvil Dies maybe????????
