I built my own press out of 6" sq. 3/8" wall tubing and 12" C-channel boxed with 3/8" plate, and used a 5" dia cylinder with 2" ram and 2,000psi hydraulic power supply. I am in the 20 to 25 ton range and is 50" wide inside. I picked up some of the press brake shoe of different length's and widths and some die stock so my press also serves as a press brake. I picked up the material as scrap off a bridge project with the exception of the 6" tubing. As a press it would probally sit idle a lot, but as a combo unit it get's used weekly.
