Red Torin 20 ton shop press mod

As for your question if you need a lift for a small press. Yes, that way I don't have to remove everything from the table when I need to change the hight of the table. Do I need it no, but I I love to design and build things .

I wasn't judging as I also like to build/modify/design things. Great job on the lift design and build!

That is the main reason that I want to make one for mine! :thumbsup:

I have some garage door cable pulleys that I could use with your design.

Got a bit more work done on the shop press. Built a stand out of 1-1/2x3"x3/16 rectangular tubing. Used 2 4" casters fixed/no brake and tapped the 1/4" plate on the legs to accept 5/16-18 thread rubber feet. This will allow me to easily move the air/hydraulic press while adjusting for any uneven surfaces.

I am not a professional welder and am still figuring out my MM252; should have probably cleaned the rusty steel before welding-not after.

Next step paint black

Thanks for looking

Loookin gooder!

It sure is handy to move it away from the wall, for clearance when straightening bent long items. :thumbsup:

Where did you get those screw on rubber feets? Looks good. Im going to need to make something like that for my press.

Yup I was thinking more along the lines of getting it out of the way when not needed.

Cool thanks. I haven't seen anything like that in a hardware store.
