Cute arbor press
I went to a tag sale this morning and among other things I bought an arbor press. It had a bunch of surface rust, but no pitting. And has no brand name or for that matter no text on it. The whole thing is only about five inches high. So it is much smaller than say a 1/2 ton arbor press. I bought it because it was cute, and only $5. But am curious if anyone knows of an application for such a small arbor press. I already have a 1/2 or 1 ton arbor press. Dan |

There are no holes to mount it on anything, but it fits very nicely in my vise. I can think of a lot of uses for it, but they all work just as well in my regular arbor press. With its small size it is somewhat awkward. Dan |

Dan I prefer the feel of a smaller press when working on smaller parts. It feels like I have more control and I believe I have more control. |
