The crimp machine was given to us because it didn't work. I fixed it for my brother. We still will buy a hose. We don't make every hose we need. An auto parts store makes hoses, but it's high, like 150 dollars. Hydraulic shop does the same hose 40 dollars cash. Guess where I go. But it's not open weekends. Also we tore a log skidder down to the frame. Nice to have it for replacing hoses. It gets all new hoses. Hose crimper is left of skidder.Back on track, I cannot see purchasing the required crimping dies or building a crimping stand when Parker Hannifin or Motion industries will not only cut cut custom hose lengths but apply crimp fittings, while you wait..
I wonder if a tile saw would work?Does anybody have a good method for cutting hydraulic hose without contaminating the inside of the hose with debris?
Water in the hoses?I wonder if a tile saw would work?
Since they cut wet there wouldn't be any dust and it would seem like an easy cleanup afterwards.
