How about a video with sound to hear it run? How do you control over pressure in the system, is there a pressure regulator?

I tried to post a video but it said it was to large of a file. The pressure is set right now at 2000LBS I can turn it up if I want but was going to wait and see how it works. I do have a gauge on it to track the pressure to turn it up or down if I have to.

What's the maximum pressure without busting something?
This looks like a fun project this winter. The only problem is that I doubt I'm smart enough to make a blade with a press.

Max pressure for the pump is 3500PSI all other components are rated for that or higher. I wouldn't trust the frame much past the rating ot the Hydraulic system now so maybe 13T. It you wanted heavier I would use the 3x3x3/8" angle iron and would bump the cross pieces with a solid 1" plate on the bottom and ram end to beef it up and facilitate quick change dies.

If I work up enough gumption to make a press someday, would you be willing to share the parts list?
 
Yes, I made the material with a marine epoxy, carbon fiber fabric, burlap and a press. Its badically a home made micarta. Soak fabric, mix and squish!
