Someone nearby is selling a Famco 6C, which is a floor standing arbor
press that is rated for 15 tons. I would like to know if those are any
better than H framed hydraulic presses. I have a small 3R press and
like it, but I have no experience with those bigger presses.

Don't underestimate the weight...they are that heavy...and dangerous.

Manual presses allow one to "feel" the progress of the work...which is
important at times.

I note that you reference Kandu...be aware his pricing is considered
to be insane.
