A little sheet metal project

While my Harbor Freight 20-ton hydraulic press is super handy, I have modified it heavily – adding wheels, a bottom platform, air/hydraulic ram, a finger press break, etc. For the latter, I designed and made for ram arm extensions and decided that they needed a home pretty quickly. There was a fall/toe smashing incident… I drew up a little holder in Fusion360 and SendCutSend took care of cutting the 1/8” steel for me – delivered 3 days after I drew up the part. So happy with their service!

The holder was bent up in the SWAG finger break and I will do a little welding, deburr, priming, and painting before installation.

all bent up and ready for primer. adding the slots makes bending a lot easier! Will add a bead of weld to te open slots on bottom to add ridgity
Laser cut from .187″ mild steel and shipped flat. A total of three days from design to arrival at my door.
