Well a few years back I built a press using stuff I had laying around.,electric motor driving a pump.The pump put's out 2000 lbs.I used a 2" ram,9" stroke.Well as far as I figure it's only at 4000 lbs at the ram.2000 lbs per square inch equals 4000 with the 2 inch ram?
I've pressed some pretty stuck stuff and it seem's to work great but I'd like to up it a bit.I'm thinking of a 6 to 9 inch ram.Any thought's? Or is my math wrong?Tom
