It's really nice to see others besides myself working on similar projects and goals -this site is a real asset in that manner - it's a real morale boost for me and makes me want to get back to the project! I had initially thought i could build mine for 1200$ -> Wrong! It doesn't take much for a surprise to boost the final cost. Your price range estimate could be a little low if you aren't super careful about your component purchases. I have been patiently building up all the components over the last year as I run across them cheap - or free. Mine will be closer to 50T though with dual 5" cylinders. If you upgrade to 5" cylinders and a bigger pump - it would be something to consider.ĭerek - I've probably spent close to 2000$ in materials on my build also. It looks like the top and bottom frame plates are only through bolted? Personally, I'd run a pass of weld up the vertical angle iron to the frame plates to reinforce them (and probably use larger grade 8 bolts -lol). I have a tendency to way over engineer things - so maybe this isn't an issue - but I'll ask. Your 2 cylinders are spaced symmetrically even with a centered tool die - so with your good guide setup - hydraulic pressure will find equilibrium and the rams will work in unison. Synchronization isn't a concern for your build in my opinion. I'm making something very similar to your build - but using 6圆 I-beams instead of angle so that the frame can be used as a guide in a slightly different manner.
