Eastwood has launched a full line of store presses to make all of the bending, stamping, and bearing it’s essential to do as simple as it may be.
Listed here are the choices:There’s the featherweight 10 Ton Hydraulic Benchtop Store Press,the middleweight 12 Ton Ground Store Press,and the heavyweight 20 Ton Ground Store Press.
There are some big advantages to the “ram” model of press that we went with. Particularly when in comparison with our opponents that supply a “bottle jack” model press. These three presses do have lots in frequent, so let’s begin with the design.
All three presses and me. (…making a patented foolish face)
Commonalities
All of those presses are ram presses quite than bottle jack presses. The massive benefit of this design is that it permits the ram to slip left and proper, permitting you to press off heart from the body. Additionally with the ram design, there’s no spring bar or springs to get in your method. Which does are likely to occur when urgent an ungainly form. Additionally, with rams, you get an extended throw. The ram travels additional than it does with a bottle jack model press, which is at all times useful.
Right here you’ll be able to clearly see the distinction between the 2 kinds of press.
Additionally, the beds are adjustable up and down. You’ll be able to see you get loads of room to work with in relation to the 12T and 20T presses; a number of up and down adjustability there. The 10T is designed to suit a smaller storage’s type issue. Nevertheless, it does embrace a bit adjustability regardless. Shifting the mattress is so simple as eradicating the r-clips (the 10T doesn’t have clips in any respect), and pins after which shifting the mattress to the place you want it set. Easy

These are all made out of heavy-duty, high-grade metal in an H-frame building. They’re all completed in a pleasant high-quality black powder coating. Seems good and makes them simpler to wash in the event that they do get soiled. The powder coat additionally helps hold them corrosion free.
These presses all meet 2014 AMSEPASE requirements, which signifies that they’re examined to 150% of their respective max hundreds. At that further stress, we noticed no deflection or weld failures. Additionally, all of the internals and sealed surfaces are extremely polished. That makes it simpler on the seals, so you understand these presses will final a really, very very long time functionally. Eastwood backs all of those store presses with a 1-year guarantee.
These all characteristic a really good 4” stress gauge, with scales for U.S. and Metric tons. The gauge is liquid dampened, which makes it tremendous simple to get an correct studying.

In fact, these additionally work with the press equipment that we provide. The dimple die set is a good way to shed weight and add rigidity to sheet steel tasks. And I believe it seems fairly cool too, offers some WW2 plane bomber model.

Operation can also be (just about) the identical. Tremendous easy. You get a pleasant lengthy lever to drag down, and all you must do is pump these as much as apply stress. Then you’ll be able to spin the knob to launch it when you’re completed.
Variations
Now we transfer on to variations. One factor that’s very nice in regards to the 12T and 20T presses is that you should utilize the foot pedal to use stress. That method you may have each fingers to align your piece completely. The 10T doesn’t characteristic foot-pumping because of the smaller dimension (and budget-friendly pricetag).

The press brake attachments will solely work with the 12T press and that’s a good way to place some 90-degree bends into thick steel with out shopping for a complete finger brake. Less expensive than a brake, and a fairly nifty instrument.
