Default Re: So I built a hydraulic pump today

It should help with setting up the piece on the machine anyway. Unfortunately the rest is up to my ability to turn the handles:confuse d: I will try it again with a piece of steel soon. I have managed to get it to pump over 225 psi for a very brief period and 175 consistantly but the standard buna o ring can't take the strain. When I get a day off from work I will go to the local hydraulic shop in town and get some better o rings. If I could get this one to seal properly I think it would work well enough for a small model though.
