This press produces 36 tons of force at 200 bars. Its build around 4 Ø40 diameter rods which makes the tracking very good. I build this press for personal use so I’m looking forward to work on this beast in future projects. - Věda a technologie
Yep. That is a big press! Congrats for the huge work! Awesome to see how it eats that bar, like nothing's there! Cheers!
thanks :)
Outstanding build, my friend. Your father has taught you well. Simple design as well. Great Job. Cheers!
Now that’s well built my friend,that’s a strong build 💪🏽👊🏼
Wow... a nice and powerful beast. Good Job from A to Z!
Du er så sej, Andreas! Smukt arbejde! Al respekt! 🤗🤗🤗
That's one high quality build. Well done.

Awesome build.
Great engineering. Nice job!
Awesome work mate
This press makes no prisoners....excellent work...top
yep very happy for you good work.
Certainly a beast of a press 🥳
Great job 🤘
Congrats friend!
Nice work , well designed 👍😁
That was really good
Nice work. We featured this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Great job.... 💪
Nice work! I’d be interested in hearing more about the hydraulic power unit running it. Thanks
good job man...!
Subbed, keep up the good work.
Muito bom seu trabalho, não tem como mandar esse projeto da prensa, muito simples e super funcional, parabéns.
Awsome awsome
Excelente
great work! Congratulations on this wonderful press!
thanks
Belo projeto
Gostei muito
Parabéns
Very cool build. I wonder if you could have put zerk fittings to keep the bearings lubed. I think you had a lot of trouble with binding and alignment during assembly because 4 rods is overconstrained.
👍👍
Wow great job on building that press Joe. Absolutely excellent work and the results are awesome, that is a huge beast of a press. I can only imagine what we'll see you building in the future.

💪🔥🤟
Perfeito
OMG!
Supergud )
Mantul 👍👍
Man that can move some material. Is there such as too much press power? I don't think so.
Can you give us some info on your hydraulic pump, cylinder size, motor size etc for your build? Beautiful work man.
Fedt at se en anden dansk knivmager/smed, der er ikke så mange af os i lille danmark
Solo hadir... good job
Zór.bravo 👍👍👍🇺🇿
Plastic wheels? Still, that press performs very well. Nice build.
How do you change the dies? Seems they are screwed in place?
Quick question what are the disc that you are using to grind and clean scale with because they look like they do a great job at removing scale
I think it is called "fiberrondel" get some in ceramic, they are super effective and longlasting.
I really like it, now to find someone to build it, Michael, Michael, where's Michael.
random question but I'm considering buying the plans for this and was just wondering the rough cost of the parts for you (I presume in euros?) and if you think they would be hard to get in new Zealand? Thanks, Liam
Дуже круто мені сподобалось❤🎉🎉🎉
I’m sitting here watching this, thinking how does this young man have all this amazing equipment and I’m still doing everything by hand and how does he know how to do what he’s doing??? Then I saw your dad and pieces it together. Regardless, you’ve got great skills and a bright future ahead of you. Great video.
Вы молодцы, хорошая работа. Есть возможность схему скинуть? Попробую повторить.
сильно получилось.....!!!! класс....!!!!!
8:12 You could use with a press to make your press. ;o)
Skipped right thru the hydraulic fabrication
Great work! I would be interested in how you welded that. With commercially available ones available for home use
Welding equipment that would be impossible
to weld the thick iron durable not to glue.
Why did you withhold it from us in the video? Problems?
I used a regular esab 400 amp MAG welder.
I didn’t record the welding process because I only have a 200 amp welder in my own workshop, and I wasn’t confident that the welds was gonna hold as well with the 200 amps. So I used the welder at my job, that’s why I didn’t film it.
@@gentilknives8907 Alright, thanks.
@@gentilknives8907 you brought up the point I was going to make about this press.. it’s an amazing build that anyone would be lucky to have, but the amount of machining and heavy duty welding is kind of prohibitive to the majority of hobbyists
@@fxnepilogue yes i agree, that’s why I didn’t make it a “how to” video.
@@gentilknives8907 great work , I have a 300 amp xmt that could easily weld that material . Probably could do it with a 200 amp machine but would have to preheat and use multi pass technique
hello, nice build, whats the green stuff, kind of glass covering primer?
It’s anti scale because the H13 has a long soak time. I talk a bit more about it in Episode 5 of the lates Bowie build
@@gentilknives8907 many thanx i ll look at it right now. why did you choosed the 1500 rpm ? second hand with this color or power issue? on VFD?
@@deligneeric6804 what do you mean with the 1500 rpm?
@@gentilknives8907 i wonder why the 1500, a 1000 rpm got a better constant avaible torque at lower speed, if you wanna keep the speed of the ram you size the pump up.
Your material is as its being built as a 36 ton press but your single pass fillet welds are more like a half ton press not stong enough to press down my morning wood !
Can I ask what size steel your forging there, and what diameter rams your using? Is it around 25-30ton? Thanks
I forged a 40x40 mm bar.
Ø40 rams
It presses 36 tons @ 200bar
@@gentilknives8907 that’s great. So that’s two 40mm diameter rams? Sorry just confirming. I have two 50mm diameter 300mm stroke rams and a 7hp power pack. Just trying to work out my tonnage. Press is great and a great instructional video too!
@@aobbuddy I think I misunderstood your first question, but the diameter in the cylinders is 100 mm that gives 16 tons each so 36 tons in total
What are the specs of your hydraulic power unit/pump?
Looks like a 40 tons maybe even 60? 10 HP to a 22GPM pump maybe?
This press is great, until you realize it needs interchangeable dies on it. You need some squaring dies, drawing dies, rounding dies, maybe even a cutting die for it. Must slide into place, and have a square base so the they can be turned 90 degrees as well. I realize I am late to the game, so you probably have already figured this out.
I'm waiting on laser parts to arrive for the forging press I designed and am building. Dies has been a bit of an unknown. I'm sure with experience running it I will get a better sense of ideal die sets. Can you describe a bit more the dies I need so I can begin modelling them?
@@thedillestpickle Tyrell Knifeworks has a great video describing his dies that he uses. I've cued the video link to start at the right spot. czcams.com/video/O_6qciYnKIk/video.html
This guy is a complete master at what he does (damascus blades) and has lots of superior advice than I could possibly offer.
He recommends using "kiss blocks" to physically limit the travel so that it is consistent and forges evenly. KISS is known to mean "Keep It Simple, Stupid" ..... an inside joke.
show
So the most important, most interesting part about the whole press, the hydraulic piston (how to make it and everything about that) ... is not important I guess
I didn’t make the pistons
@@gentilknives8907 Any info would be much appreciated, any footage of putting it together, how it's working, how it's connected, anything ..the press looks and works awesome, that's why this part of the video would be soo helpful. thanks for the answer
I bet you wish you had made it taller.
Please please stop using butt joints.you aren't even close .at least 3/8 both sides
Those bushings are going to need to replaced really quickly with the amount of radial resistance on them from the misaligned shafts. Good design in general but you should use less metal as it could be done for much cheaper and more efficiently and make sure the action of the moving jaw plate is nice and smooth. You should be able to slide that easily up and down by hand and it should fall under its own weight.
