Inverting an hydraulic jack for a workshop press.

[C-Bag]

Outstanding first post Tony! Thanks so much for posting this. You are so right that all the good presses I've used had an inverted ram and have often wondered what was difference from the cheap presses that have the ram upright. It so simplfies the whole construction to do away with mount system on cheap presses. Every once in a while I see an old barely used HF press on Craigslist but hated the setup. I'll now keep an eye out for one and convert it over to this setup.
