Thread: Hydraulic water sausage stuffer - DIY build

Anyone built one?

Been researching and planning on buying a traditional crank one for a while but came across a US company selling DIY assembly hydraulic units.

Got me thinking and planning and I think I'll run with this. A search found a guy in Wanga's that's done one, and there's some good sites overseas. Might have to hit my bro in law up for the machining of the piston, but should be able to handle everything else myself.

I don't want a PVC unit, as I like to see what's going on, so I've sent a quote request for some polycarbonate tubing as a starting point. If that's reasonable, I'll do the rest with pvc fittings.
