Author	Topic: Which hydraulic press?
stang106 Gearhead Posts: 734 From: God's Country!... Port Alberni B.C. Canada Registered: Jul 2001	posted 03-13-2003 06:41 PM I am going to purchase a press so I can do my own bearings for rearends, etc. Is a six-ton bench press too small? I can't see getting an axle into one. My next option is a 12 ton floor press. The six ton is $100.00 and the 12 ton is $200.00. I'm leaning toward the 12 but have little experience here. Opinions? Thanks, Dave IP: Logged

Whatever you buy, you'll always wish you got bigger. ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 - '72 Mustang Sprint - '94 F-150 Please remember our sponsors, Mustangs Plus, NPD, Osborn Reproductions, MyFordPerformance.com, and FordRamAir.com IP: Logged

One thing about presses is, tooling is just as important as being able to generate force. Things can get screwed up pretty quick if parts become just a little cocked. IP: Logged
