Default I just bought two 55-ton Power Team SPX hydraulic presses off marketplace.

One will be used for dimpling the other for a 40” brake press. I have a HF press for a brake press now I will not miss it. Going from air to a hydraulic pump will be great so much faster.





This is the model I bought. This is what they cost new.
I picked them up for $1,500 for the pair. Not cheap but far better than $26,784 plus shipping for two new ones.

I bought a 40 ton press last year that worked well but I will be selling that one.

The new ones will be so much faster. you can set them to put pressure watch the gauge when it hits the right pressure let off it can auto release and retract.

This should cut dimpling steps time in 1/2. We have sold over 300 steps they get 4 dimples each we have done 1332 dimples. Cutting the time in 1/2 will be welcome.

This being a side business it is not uncommon to be in the garage 11:30 1200... the pneumatic press has a very loud thumping noise even though my neighbors not very close I'm sure they could hear that. These are very quiet and do not need the air compressor to run to use them.
