Rosin Press with Pressure Gauge - Affordable 10-ton Rosin Press Machine
Trying to get a jump on the affordable DIY hydraulic hand pump, hose, and gauge.
I have not tested any of this yet, but putting this up here as it's as close as I've got. Will likely be ordering the bushing and adapter once I have the parts in hand to verify the fittings.
This is what I am thinking right now, the fittings make this a more expensive option =/

Build at your own risk if you don't wanna wait for me to verify! Don't forget the Teflon tape to seal all threads.
Many Thanks for @Psychonaut ( fuckcombustion.com ) Sharing!

It’s hard not to begin with “After extensive research” but……..I was aiming at this approach of building a separate pump to mate with the 10 ton press. After extensive research 😉 I chose to buy the 6 ton unit with integrated jack. I did so because most of my pressings will be two 7 g pucks. I’ll never need to exert more than 6 ton of pressure. I’m delighted that I narrowed it down for myself. Take away message: Before you chose a separate pump cost and build, consider if 3” x 5” plates with an integrated jack might work just as well for you 👍😉
