the one thing you do not tell us is do you intend to bend it on the length or width; on the width (2") no problem with 12 tons; on the length, it is another matter, and probably not possible.
I intend on bending the steel across the 2" width. I would only bend aluminum across the length.the one thing you do not tell us is do you intend to bend it on the length or width; on the width (2") no problem with 12 tons; on the length, it is another matter, and probably not possible.
http://www.harborfreight.com/12-ton-air-hydraulic-bottle-jack-94487.html Probably cheaper than trying to upgrade what you have, but I don't know how fast they operate.Anyone know if the hydraulic pump on the harbor freight press an be upvraded to the type that does not require pumping, but has a hand held remote that controls the movement of the ram.

Yes, I have the 20 ton version of the one pineyfolks linked to on my 20 ton HF press. It works great! Well worth the money. I got tired of pumping by hand. It's at least 3-4 times faster than pumping by hand.Anyone know if the hydraulic pump on the harbor freight press an be upvraded to the type that does not require pumping, but has a hand held remote that controls the movement of the ram.
