How to make a shovel? Curling the shovel handle with hydraulic press machine

Shovels are essential tools used in gardening, construction, and many other industries.  They come in different shapes and sizes, but all shovels have one thing in common - they need a sturdy and ergonomic handle to make them comfortable and easy to use.  In this article, we will explore how to make a shovel handle using a hydraulic press machine. 

The first step in making a shovel handle is to select the material you want to use.  Common materials used for shovel handles include hardwood, fiberglass, and plastic.  Once you have selected the material, you need to cut it to the desired length and shape. 

Next, you need to prepare the handle for bending.  This is where the hydraulic press machine comes in.  The machine is equipped with a set of dies that can be used to shape the handle.  To curl the handle, you need to select the appropriate die and set up the machine. 

Once the machine is set up, you need to carefully position the handle on the die and apply pressure.  The pressure should be sufficient to curl the handle without breaking it.  The hydraulic press machine is an ideal tool for this task because it can provide the necessary force without damaging the material. 

After you have curled the handle, you can adjust its shape and size to fit the shovel head.  This is usually done by sanding and trimming the handle until it fits snugly into the shovel head. 

Finally, you can finish the handle by adding a grip and any other embellishments you desire.  Grips can be made from rubber or other materials, and can be customized for comfort and style. 

In conclusion, curling the shovel handle with a hydraulic press machine is a straightforward process that requires some preparation and attention to detail.  With the right materials and equipment, anyone can make a strong and ergonomic shovel handle that will provide years of use.  Whether you are a professional landscaper or a weekend gardener, a well-crafted shovel handle is an essential tool for any task.
