I'm about to move forward on a manually operated hydraulic press project
and was wondering some of the things that can be performed with such a
beast?

Hole punching? metal bending?

Know of any information out there that would be helpful?

What about making your own dies?

Thanks.


I use mine quite a bit for pressing bearings. I built one
out of scrap metal that does a good job. I needed it in a
burry one day and built it in several hours.
