I was playing with Gustav's hydraulic clutch system today. I was really impressed with the mechanical advantage provided by the system. I wonder if it would be possible to make a mini shop press with one? Not for anything serious, just little things here and there.

Do you think it would work?

I suppose I could do all the maths but I'm on vacation.

You could do the same with a bottle jack. The hard part, with both, would be making a frame.

Go for it!

You don't have a vise?

I do, I was intrigued by the system and figured it had a use in a shop outside actuating clutches, I just don't know what that use is yet.
