    What part did you buy

  • @toddleshane

    Most of the steel, all the hydraulics, wire, motor, and motor starter.

    By now you either have a metal cutting saw of some kind, a cutting torch or a 9" angle grinder with suitable cutting disc? A 4.5" grinder is WAY too small for cutting that thickness of steel.

    Haha, yes indeed. Now I have an oxy-propane torch setup. Long term I'd love a horizontal band saw. One day...

    Hey there! I've learned and forgotten a whole lot since this project haha. What I can say for sure, is the grinder is a Grizzly G1015. As for the heat treat, the best bet is almost always to follow a recipe made for the specific steel you're working with. If I remember correctly, old coil springs were often made with steels like 5160. From what I understand, modern coils are harder to know for certain. My recommendation would be to buy fresh 5160, 1080, 1084, or something similar. Then you can follow a recipe for heat treatment, and reliably get a well performing blade.

    @@toddleshane thanks for your quick response, and yes, I guess it was quite a long time ago to try to remember the details . I do like the simplicity of your grinder so I’ll see if I can track one down here in Australia. Thanks again and happy smithing.

    I subscribed after the first 3 minutes. I’ve done exactly the same when I built my 48” reverse smoker, but I’ve done it in a 20’ by 15’ back patio of my rented townhouse. Thanks God all my neighbors are latinos and didn’t complain to the manager because for 3 weeks I was grinding and welding with a $89 harbor freight welder until 11:00 pm some times. Great work

    I like that design a lot. It presses top down, but without the cylinder mounted on top too, very cool. Also, another thing I really like, when pressing, the dies are not wiggling around like I see on a lot of other DIY presses. It's straight and solid. Outstanding.

    Man, great work. Way to work for what you need, and learning the skills to do it. But have to say my favorite part was whoever was off camera around 13:52 minutes who startled you because of the unknown. I would have done the same. Hat's off to you for some great work. What was your total cost for all materials. Cylinders motors steel?

  • @toddleshane
    @toddleshane Жыл бұрын

    Thanks Josh! I had no idea the sound had attracted a small audience while I was focused on the machine hahaha. I forget the exact figures, but I remember working out that all materials (including new tools I needed to buy) cost about half of buying a professionally built press with the same cycle speed and tonnage.

    Excellent video man. Do you have a picture of the motor specs that you used? How do you like the speed of the press when in low pressure mode and when in "working mode"? Would you rather it go faster or slower or is it good?

  • @toddleshane
    @toddleshane2 жыл бұрын

    Thanks! Yeah, here's the motor's model number 00536OS1DCD56H-S As for speed and power: I spec'd it out to mimic commercially available "plus" models of 16 ton presses. (The speedier ones.) It may only press 16 tons, but it moves in a hurry, which is great for general purpose forging in my experience. I'm able to feather the valve enough to slow it down when needed, so its fast, but still controllable. Working mode is great. Trucks along until it hits the systems pressure limit set on the valve.

    Great question. At the time, it was a little less than 1/2 the cost of purchasing. Worth some people's time, not so much for others. Was during lockdown, so worked out great in my case. A purchased unit would be nicer too, but I'm happy with my monstrosity haha. Also know how best to fix everything should something go.
