Finally got my new press put together

[wildstyle]

Bought this press last year on sale before starting to put up my shop. Finally dug the boxes out and put it together. It is a King Canada 20 ton. I will be using it for dimple die'ing and plan on getting a small press brake for it. I will probably put some casters on it to be able to move it around easier in the shop.

How close are the tolerances for the bolt holes securing the cylinder crossmember and the workpiece cross member? Did you have any issues squaring up the assembly?

The top member that holds the ram has about 1/16" play in the bolt holes. I held it up as far as it would go and torqued the bolts like that.

The working cross member just sits on the two large adjustable pins. The small bolts that hold the two together (have steel tube spacers between them)

It all went together very easily. Probably took me 20 minutes, bled the pump and away it went.
