How to build a 100 ton Press for machining, broaching, punching and forming
*This is incredibly dangerous – the scabby tools and cobbled together parts shown here are widow makers. Treat them as such.*
I’ll show you how I machined a portable die press for punching and broaching. We’re using the latest in Armstrong technology to build a hydraulic press, without hydraulics! 100 tons for 100 dollars in material.
Also of interest in the vid:
17mm die punch thru 8mm steel plate (20 ton trial run)
Annular cutters on the Bridgeport Mill

6:22 Woah!!
ahahaha nice joke 100tons :))
AHAHA just fuckin stabbing the sheet with the electrode lmao, I like your style
I used to use two big bolts from old coil spring compressors to press bearings.
I think you can make your contraption more efficient by using tapered roller bearings instead of just those big washers. Or at least use 2 or 3 washers and a lubricant to reduce friction.
It would be the equivelent of oiling a bolt before torquing it. If rebuilding an engine there are sometimes different torque specs for oiled or not oiled bolts. Oiled bolts require less torque to be applied when using something like a torque wrench.
You can get 1in zinc rods for the same price as 1in zinc bolts at homedepot.
more lube when drilling also jack is easiest way to press but good job what you made
1:48 Hi MOM
Yes, your Captions are amusing.
A Falbala é linda! Muito legal e criativa a prensa também! Gotta love Asteix and diy tools!
Might as well have gone all the way to "decnals".
Genius foresight! Never would have thought about using magnets.
Got the intention to improve this thing?
I instantly thought about taking 4 equal big gears, put them on the hex nuts and use a smaller gear in the middle.
That way it would tighten (or lose) all screws equally when turning the inner gear.
Oh and you could attach some motor to it.. isn't that fun?
+AvE I'll keep commenting on your vids till you notice me haha, I love your vids, but when are you putting the touch screen on lil screwy? I really want to see that happen.
a shop I used to work at had one but it had acme thread Rod awesome build
Canuck to Youtube loses something, but gains so much in the losing.
Absolutely pornographic…..fucking hilarious man your vijahos have me cracking up
I wish I had some 1 x 6 inch steel "laying around"…………lol

Hey AvE, have you considered remaking Lil' Screwy except adding a bicycle sprocket and running a chain around the boltheads? Using an old 10-speed bike/legpower instead of armpower seems like a lower effort way to get stuff done. I'm only asking because I want to put one together but want to learn from your mistakes first.
unobtainium pixie dust. love it
why are you not making some gears at the top and rotating all the rods at once with a drill?
Soooo Canadian
The subtitle machine has a real hard time getting the audio correct haha
Can you check if those hydraulic presses from harbor freight can actually do how much they claim to do?
How bout fitting a sprocket on each coupling nut and running roller chain around the four screws? Then only need to turn one screw and the rest turn simultaneously, right?
That's really impressive seeing you do that there pal, one would assume having access to expensive luxurious tools would have everyone shelling out silly bucks to get the job done. Your proving to Youtuber's what can be done with knowledge, technique a little bit of character ;-). Seriously man your better then watching TV.
Just wondering if you could use an impact driver to sequentially tighten those rods?
Would be easier on the meathooks but I'm too much of a noob to know wether that's too much stress on the bolts.
that close caption thou. Perfect translation.
you should weld some gears on the end of the thredded bars and stick a chain on there so you only have to turn one at a time.
This is the slightly psycho machine shop channel, right?
That reminded me of the old book binders press. A single 3 inch thick drive screw in the middle with square threads and a guide rod in each corner. A hand turned wheel about 3 feet across on the top. No idea how many tons it put down but it could squish a 3 foot tall array of books. Probably 80 tons or so. the pressure plate was cast iron, weighing around 500 lbs. Similar plate on the bottom.
(Pssst! BTW, don't tell them but that isn't really a thumbs down. It's the symbol for the morons that failed masturbation class,)
how do i get f=rid of the dam subtitles
Super but way way too much super machinery required that the average person does not have.
What's the cheapest way to build one of these (assume I have zero tools lying around)
Love your vids, always interesting and useful The subtitles though are HILARIOUS, don't think they recognise the ole' Canadian
LMFAO the closed captioning on this video is so hilarious
why not throw on some gears and a chain so that you only need to drive one and the others will follow ?
6:20 No cutting oil = heat = hardening the steel as you go = dull annular cutter
