Making A fly Press | Part 4 - Pressing Bearings And Bending Metal
Ғылым және технология
G'day everyone,
It is finally time to finish the mini fly press for the workshop. In the previous videos I made the frame and base, and made the ram block and leadscrew (plus a little bit of heat treating). The last thing to do before I can use it is make a handle and fly wheel weight. I will also need to make some tooling for the fly press. this has been in the works since January and I cannot wait to get it finished and see how it works. I hope you enjoy the video.

@@gary851 You mean the hacksaw at 3:55 ? I'd say it's good for people see that there is a simple tool that can do such a task. I usually apply vegetable oil onto the whole saw blade on both sides to cool and lube it.
Local man does everything in his power to annoy his fan base by using a hacksaw. More news at 11.

"This stand is still wobbly because it's lacks weight. There is that bandsaw I got for cheap, and I decided to disassemble it and stick it underneath."

He needed to make the fly press for pressing the bearings on the homemade bandsaw coming up 😂

He's either got no room for one or a really good hacksaw blade sponsor...
A little tip. I leave my number with various gyms in the area. When they have broken weights or machines that break or need replaced, I ask them to call me to remove them. And I sometimes pay a small amount for the scrap, but they are usually happy not paying for someone to haul it away. I get great materials for machining and when I need to add weight to something. Also tire retailers. Wheel weights are made from lead and sometimes zinc.

That is a very clever way to source materials as gym equipment is usually over built and the weights don't always transfer from one system to the next.
spade bits are point stabilized so by drilling a pilot hole you destabilized the bit by allowing the tip to wander in the drill hole as it hit harder and softer grain.
That thing really turned out awesome! Really impressive, especially considering your machine constraints!

Thank you very much
Impressive accomplishment for a small shop, especially the lead screw and the taps. A lot of intelligence and ingenuity shown there!
Making square holes is easy. You can make them on a fly-press. Just turn a round hole as you did & then at 90 degree rotations, squash it in the fly press until a square hole, then turn outer square back to round. Easy!
Yes, the hacksaw is back. I was getting worried about that established tool not being in videos more often. Nice mini fly press too!
Awesome build series. Apart from your obvious machining talent (more credit to you there) what I really appreciate is: you leave the inevitable mistakes in. That's entertaining and something we can certainly all relate to. Essentially, you're always building a prototype - so it's a real voyage of discovery, despite how meticulous the planning might be. Well done.
The fly press is impressive and sort of a straight forward type build, I was really impressed with your homemade taps and tap wrench. Great job all around!
Make yourself a collar that prevents the ram from falling all the way down. Can also set it to press the same distance every time.
You have the right idea with how you weld, you're just rushing it, i feel. Put a lead pencil core (you can buy them) inside your torch and draw along a straight line, the squiggles without breaking the tip. That worked for me. Good work, that's a good press.
to quote the GOAT of youtube shop lads, grinders and paint make me the welder I aint
Top Tip, fill the stand legs with sand. Adds weight and dampens it down nicely.
You should be really proud of that project! So proud, in fact...that you need to give this thing a better table. Seriously.

It's not finish but given the space I have to work in this size I have to go with. That's just the reality if it. Cheers Edit: I have a few ideas ro hold it down but I haven't gotten around to doing that yet
Well done lad, that came out very well. I won’t be surprised if you turn the handle up side down as that’s the way most fly presses have them, it makes using it much easier especially when your eye is on the workpiece. Cheers.
Hey you know what they say, _"a grinder and paint, makes you the welder you ain't"_ 😂 Just kidding looks great, excited to see how you incorporate it into the builds! 👍👍
This thing turned out awesome! Very cool project. I can think of one thing to add. you need a little brass tag for it!
Thank you. I have enjoyed watching your process and comments.
Making a magnetic vise, or a vise to hold work or dies in the press will be a great help. Even ig its a simple electronagnet .. I would build a rable from larger diameter square tube, fill it with concrete!!
Man this press is fly af

Pretty fly for an Oz press
Solid work. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Great work.
Nice job the press should add much to the workshop. With your Tig welding you need to allow the metal to puddle then hold the torch steady then add the filler metal. When you flick the torch back away from the puddle you lose heat from the weld and adding filler material bloods because there is not enough heat to maintain a good weld. Keep the torch steady and use the filler to act as the cooling agent then move the torch along in a stead feed direction.
inspiring and awesome .
Wow... great job.
Great Work!
Well done!
Came out great
Very glad you’re sharing your work. Cheers.
Nicely done!
great work
Congrats! This is great thank you!
Very awesome👌
Fantastic job, thanks for sharing.
Great! bloody brilliant you are!
Great series. I’ve enjoyed watching every episode.
Very impressive!
Great job. I have watch the whole build including the tools. Love your content, keep doing what you doing and don’t worry about the hacksaw comments. They are just jealous that they can’t straight as you. 👍. Thanks again from across the ditch. 👍

Thankyou. I just do what I do my way
Nice job! Now I need one!!
Great tool for the shop! Thanks for posting and take care!
That turned out great!
Awesome 👍🏻
The finished press looks awesome!
Quite the journey. Congratulations! I enjoyed the video. Thank you.
I was following from the begining. Great outcome!
What a great project. You’ve got some serious skills. Thanks for bringing us along.
Awesome job!
Nice job !!
Fantastic series, really well done 👍👍
Idk much about metal but I know that boiled linseed oil is better than polyurethane for tool handles. Great video series, thanks!
Nice to see this come to fruition.... great job and keep em coming!! 👍👍
Well done. Been nice watching it come together
That was an epic project, love the process and the result. Making your own screw thread was the highlight for me, that’s just crazy levels of dedication and ingenuity! Looking forward to seeing it in operation in your future vids.
That is really good man
Congratulations. Well done
Loved watching this project!
When bending a good rule of thumb is 8x plate thickness between your two corners and giving yourself room for 3 degrees of springback will let you get a perfect 90. Tho it should be said, industrial machines for this measures the travel of the top die in 100ths of a millimeter to get good consistent bend angels and it can still vary wildly from one batch of material to another.
Love it. Those presses are very versatile.
Really nice! Thanks for sharing. I wish I had more time to make things like this. Looking forward to more content.
What an awesome project. The flypress looks really great! Well done!
Nice piece of kit.
I love it dude! well done.
Love what you create, really amazing work, thanks! 👍💪✌
That turned out wonderfully. Try flipping the handle upside down (so the bend is pointing down instead of up), it will be a lot more comfortable to use and easier to reach.

Cheers. It's not a full size fly press so having the handle the other way was not so comfortable for me to use
Love this series! Keep going i love your video
Nice job well done,👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow, what an accomplishment. Good on you man👍
Nice job!!! Very immpressive results!!!!!
Great job, really respect the dedication.
You are coming right along young man! You are worth my time.
Excellent job man, great videos, keep'um coming..
Great job
Nothing like finally finishing an arduous project. Looks awesome
Congratulations. I have looked forward to my Saturdays checking in and enjoying the journey. This thing is beautiful. It is also the first I have heard of this type of press. Really interesting.
15:00 You could balance it by putting another iron ball on the handle side. It also reduces the friction in the screw because the imbalance pulls at the screw sideways. Hm, maybe just a big and heavy iron disk with a handle mounted on it or maybe a rim to grab on. The iron ball will flex the rod that connects it to the screw on "impact", which will reduce the force from the "impact". But it is not necessarily an issue. The rod can always strengthened if needed without much change.
nice job, wel done ! cheers ben.
Congratulations! great build series. Regarding the "bend gone wrong", it would have been much easier to clamp the red hot tip and maneuver the lever side to obtain more control and a better overall result. The idea of that kind of jig is using the cold side as guide and leverage.

Maybe, I was just trying to copy an old diagram I found in a textbook
Really nice result! 👍🙂
awesome project and work as always 😁👍
Great work man keep up the effort
Very cool.
Great work! Really liked to follow this buil ld!
congratulations on finishing this massive project!
This build came out pretty nice One thing that comes to mind though: I don't really like the big offset mass of the weight, if you spin it up it seems to make it wobble a lot. I'd have gotten a big round weight plate and just drilled a hole for the handle into the rim. That way you still got the inertial mass, but without the off balance problem. That way it also shouldn't be a problem to really spin it up for greater pressing force.
Very nice build! Love the "make do with what I have" attitude...
As ever a lot of thought went into the project. Cheers matey.
Really enjoyed this project. Interesting and you show a great range of skills
Congratulations on such an ambitious project. Well done!
Awesome stuff sir, just excellent work. Keep it up. I am now off to watch your video on fly cutters.
Behind every good welder is an even greater grinder. Awesome project!
Fantastic Job! Your ability with the tools you have is really inspiring to a person with a small shop as well.
Great job mate / man
amazing project. I am seeing your channel since the first video. Quite amazing evolution!
Sweet!
just awesome. what else can I say.. better then one from the store by far !!!
That's such a great project. You did really wellto make it with the tools you've got.
Very impressive & the taps, from Coventry in the UK.
Great video bud!
