I bought a 10 ton press about 15years ago.
but found that 10 ton wasn't enough so I bought a 20 ton jack.
over the years I replaced about 3 or 4 jacks they always go at the pump end no end of replacements .
bought myself a new air/oil jack.
so I decided to check over my press and the main frame is starting to buckle as well as the main bed is getting out of shape. so I decided to to refurbish it.
upon checking the prices for materials and comparing new press's.
just to buy the 'C' channel it going to cost me at least £80 and what ever else I need.
of course these are ebay prices
its not worth repairing the press.
especially when you can get one for £140.
looking at it,it look as those its on the limit. I'm not familiar with these figures on their chart.
should I look for some thing bigger?
