I was setting up my new press tonight..and the jack I thought was 20
ton..was 12 ton.

The press is rated at 30 tons..so anyone got one they want to trade
Stuff for? Harbor Freight has em for $80..but I dont have $80 at the
moment to buy a jack with.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost

That's OK. You also don't have any 32" diameter prop shafts to
straighten on that press at the moment, so methinks it'll work on
everything else you throw at it.

Silly Rabbi.

Geez louise. If he has people bringing him work, then how does he have
so much time for yakking here? And considering that he claims to
charge $75 an hour, then why is he broke and wasting multiple hours
*talking* about getting a cheap jack, instead of working for a single
hour and buying a new one? Even more to the point - if one can create
an alternate reality by posting to Usenet, then why not create a
better one?

Drill collars - I made a few of them in my day. Okay, I did the
preliminary work, which let the next guy bore the 2.5 hole down the
centre of the 34 foot shaft. Al Hopper had the joy of turning them OD
to ID. All on manual machines, mind you.

Lots of Heavy Stuff.

I don't have a 30 ton jack either. I will add my own tangent however. I've
got a 12 ton press, and when I misplaced the jack for it I bought a 12 ton
air over hydraulic for it. I have since found the original jack. Its has
sat in the corner gathering dust for 4 or 5 years now. Air over is awesome
when you have work to do, and when I need a little more precise control I
can still put a jack handle in it.

Yah..I was thinking about that. Going through the Harbor Freight
website and pondering.

But..and I have one..several in fact...but Id need the air compressor
running to do anything serious with the press. And with the economy
being the way it is...that power bill....cringe. The press will be
there after the economy comes back. The power bill comes every month.

I guess Ill simply kick it around, check all the yard sales and whatnot
and maybe Ill find an American made big jack for little money.

12 ton will get me by, I reckon.
