Production volumes, cost and difficulty of set-up/change-over
will determine how much automation you want to invest in.

Gunner's idea of using a hand operated arbor press (or even a
kick press if you can find one) is a good idea for initial
testing and evaluation, and can be a real life saver when you
need a 1/2 dozen of something and you are in the middle of a long
run of another part number on the automated equipment.


I have a kickpress, converted to pnuematic if anyone needs one.

"If thy pride is sorely vexed when others disparage your offering, be
as lamb's wool is to cold rain and the Gore-tex of Odin's raiment
is to gull**** in the gale, for thy angst shall vex them not at
all. Yea, they shall scorn thee all the more. Rejoice in
sharing what you have to share without expectation of adoration,
knowing that sharing your treasure does not diminish your treasure
but enriches it."
