Default Arbor Press

"Carl Ijames" fired this volley in
:

I bet your 3 ton unit is only 50 or 60:1, so you
will need to apply 6000/60=100 lbs to get the rated 3 tons, as well.


But only by virtue of the handle being about twice as long as on the one-
ton. The gear/rack ratio is only slightly different.

I modified my 3-ton with a pneumatic 'helper' cylinder that aids when I
need to dwell under pressure for a long time.
