Now thats a good looking operation there .
Curious, how much does a setup like that cost?
How much does it cost to replicate what you have made?
Kutil,
What sort of hydraulic pump and power unit are you using to drive that 7" cylinder? How many gallons per minute is the pump? Are you using a gasoline engine to drive it? How many Horse Power is the engine? Can you show some of the power unit? As much fun as the Hydro is to make wire, it is a lot of work. I was surprised how cheap valve and cylinders are. I really like your method of loading the new lead billet into the die. Very elegant solution.

I have a Bobcat 863 with hydraulic accessory hookup. Now I am curious about doing something similar
That is a very good solution for a high pressure hydraulic pump.
