Seems like a lot of work for 37 - 40 ton of pressure. Why do you need that much travel?
I would cut the travel with a lever and multiply the pressure.
At least that is my current thought. I have a press burning in the back of my mind.
I "think" I only need 1" of travel, of course that depends on your dies but hey so far it is just a thought. You have something that is real.
Thanks for posting.
