- I purchased a new machine for the shop, a Dake 15 ton arbor press. To save on shipping I had it sent to the Mobile terminal so I went over to pick it up, then get it unloaded and into the shop.

Hi, Adam. I’m an older guy who’s had his career, mostly in marketing, and I am fascinated with your channel. I know NOTHING about metal working, the machinery and devices you use. The closest I ever got to a milling machine was when, as a young man, I lived in Cincinnati. I was in Cincinnati Milling Machine and LeBlond many times with my work. Yet I am so impressed with the accuracy of your work and how fluent you need to be in math and so many other disciplines that affect your doing a good job for your customers. I love to see you working in a safe environment with all of the safety procedures, and habits, you have in place. I never see you rush. And I love how you take pride in your shop. It’s got to be, inherently, a dirtier place to work with all of the chips and lubricants. But your shop, and equipment, are always clean and tidy. The thing that I admire about you the most is that you do your best not to talk down to folks like me. You take the time to show and explain what you’re going to do and how you’re going to do it. I think that’s what makes your channel so appealing. I wish you continued success with your business and your channel and thank you for providing information to young men and women who might be interested in getting in this line of work. You’re a great camera operator too!!!
Best,

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Kieran Daxton Instablaster =)
@Terrance Kabir thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Terrance Kabir It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Kieran Daxton No problem :)
Not going to lie, I kept waiting for that pallet jack to go through the floor of the trailer.
Nice bit of iron mate. Just an FYI for those wondering what that cast iron basket sitting on the base is. It is called a mandrel catcher.
I remember when your channel was a lot about the fun of making/modifying stuff yourself... my point is, make the press wheel!! We would enjoy that very much!
Yes please, that would be fun.
Perhaps he could use a powerlifting weight/plate as affordable material to machine it from.
Does anyone else dig seeing tools that were made in your home state? Grand Haven is 30 minutes from me. Congrats on the new press Adam!
All of the greatest machines were made up north!
You are a master of moving big heavy machines, Adam, and it blows me away just how much you are able to achieve working calmly and methodically, in your own...in the rain. Great to watch.
Thanks!
When I've taken equipment off my trailer, I started using a couple of floor jacks to keep the trailer from rocking. One on each corner at the back. Nice score BTW!
Good job. I now know two things: you're used to working alone and you're no wussy. Hate movin' those tall things. That's a helleva arbor press. Love that Reed.
Thanks Adam,
Nice addition to your shop. I'm in Az so thanks for taking me for a drive on the Gulf to pick up your purchase. Gods blessings on safe travels. Brian
Adam- When I saw you unloading that Press by yourself, I thought of all of the " Andrew, Do it yourself jobs" where I had to unload heavy things all by myself. The way you unloaded the Press was logical & methodical!
Now I know why the Earth now rotates at a wobble. All the Iron is either at Andrew Alexander's Anvil Museum, or in your shop! Greetings from the Hudson Valley of New York!
That is a Dake #4 12 ton arbor press. Not a #5 15 ton. The 15 ton has a swing out table and not a raising knee table. The 401 cast into the main casting also shows it's not the 15 ton Dake #5. A very nice press nonetheless though! What a great piece.
Hi Adam, According to the Dake website, the can on the base is a "mandrel catcher.
I also noticed that aside from the great strapping job, the press was placed just in front of the trailer axle. Very important.
The axle and the tongue share the weight. (Not equally; more for the axle, but just forward lets the tongue handle some of the load). That is ideal for stability, as well as weight distribution. You don't want your trailer weaving (too far back) or your vehicle rear end pushed too low (too far forward). (This is just for anyone who didn't know; I know most of you do and I know Adam does!) :-)
Duh
@@bulldawg6259 Duh?! Jilucasound's explanation was very good and appreciated by those who don't know how to load a trailer.
Dang Adam, you one upped me! I bought a Greenerd #4 from Washington state (I reside in Texas) and was so excited I got it for $264 off ebay. Cost me $248 to get it close to home. In my haste, I failed to notice it was stored outside (Did I mention Washington and the rain they get there) for 30 years outside a wood mill. It was all locked up and a "project". Lots of love (hammering) and oil got it freed up and working properly. I used an engine hoist to unload and move it. While you more than doubled my press capacity, going to have to start a new search. Ironically, I am near Dallas, so I should go visit Andrew and his stuff. Love your videos but you are costing me a fortune in tooling for things I know not how to use. When asked by foolish visitors what purpose it serves, I have thus far crushed a coke can, cracked a walnut and done some minor motorcycle stuff. Yep, multi-purpse tool for sure. Just need to find a hip holster to allow me to carry about town!
I like the way the press was so thoughtfully protected during yard storage and at the point of dispatch with a readily available plastic bag or bin liner that machinery often comes in from the factory, should it happen to rain or become damp or humid. That reminds me; I've been soaking a pair of engine mounts for a month in Evapo-Rust TM and it only takes a day to work its magic. I wouldn't even know about it unless Adam had featured it in some of his videos, so thanks again big buddy!
(This comment was not sponsored by Evapo-Rust TM but you can never have too much of a good thing, hint, hint ;-)
Throw some rags in the catch can so if drop a broach or shaft it makes a soft landing. I bet the 1.5-15 pin length is just right pull from one side and stick in from the other. Great score. Just the right size for you.
Thanks Adam , like watching a old friend , for 35 years had one in our shop , it was the go to press for almost all jobs,almost no time lost setting up , easy to use , sounds like you pretty much understand it . I think you will enjoy using it , Bill
a) BADASS
b) I love the fragile stickers
c) adam... bro...you gotta do something about that trailer bed (def not "abom duty")
Mate, your soft. Why didn’t you just pick it up and carry it. Seriously though, I think you did very well unloading that on your own👍
Makes my 3 ton Atlas look small. Like everyone else, I love the way you keep your work shop so clean. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
It weighs 1,800lbs. (816kg) I doubt you could lift 50kg
@@WELLINGTON20. Hey Robbie, mate I was only joking but you may have missed that. I tried to move a 250kg anvil recently, couldn’t even budge it.
Cheers and stay safe. Stu.
Adam your level of comfort, (I'm sure from experience), with iron that big weeble/wobbling around like that is commendable. I had my safety squints engaged till it was off the trailer.
That "bucket" is to catch broaches or lathe mandrels that are pressed through the part. Put a pile of rags in the bottom to soften the impact.
During the unloading there I let out several gasps when the press started rocking. . . . Good find!
I'd really like to see you make some new jaws for that Wilton. It would be great to see your take on making serrations/knurling on a flat surface.
"Welcome to the arbor press channel" :D nice press bro!
This 2x3 is extremely dangerous. It may attack at any moment. So we must deal with it!
The "Fragile" stickers made me chuckle. Nice find though, Congrats.
Thank Goodness you posted a video. I have subscribed to 97 channels and there has been very little new stuff this week.
That's one bad ass press. Good score dude
Very nice! I just got a 12 ton Dake at my job, I wish I could have got a 15T like yours!
The can probably has lead in the bottom , and it for when you broach the broach will fall into the can. The lead is to prevent the broach from breaking
Fantastic find and addition to the shop. You, Rucker, and some others done got me craving a Dake for my shop. LOL
I'm from Texas and we LOVE our Buc ee's. Cant believe you didn't stop. I plan nearly every road trip around them.
We’ve stopped there several times but I didn’t want to handle the traffic that day.
Nice press! Watched the Vegas video yesterday but didn't get a chance to comment! Congrats to you and Abby, wish you the best and a long and happy life together!!
Thanks Fred!
Went to the Dake website, I believe the cast iron basket on the bottom is part #306, Mandrel Catcher.
The press and vise are nice pieces of equipment, I'm glad you could acquire them!
The catch pot should have lead in the bottom, so when ever a broach or shaft etc. fall through it cushions the fall
I was just thinking to myself "well if it's cast iron, that makes it brittle, and a heavy shaft falling there might punch a hole right through." but the lead cushion makes absolute sense!
Weld a piece of angle with the long edge sticking back across the tail edge of your tailgate to act as an extension and lessen the final drop off the gate.
Stiff operation because of the newness, stiff operation because of the rust.... Not your normal cleanup. NICE Score! Good balanced video.. Michael from Colorado
Do a press brake adapter, would be as handy as hell for bending brackets etc, I know here you can get 150 mm vee and round adapters to squeeze in a vice for that odd 6 mm bracket a shop always needs to hang an Ebay score or your welding helmet, if it was my press it would have adapters to do multiple things, good stuff Adam.
I will agree with a few other people make the hand wheel yea it will take you longer but that is what you're all about is the making of stuff and honestly just from watching you i have now learned something i have always struggled with and that was using measuring equipment dial gauges, calipers and micrometers but because of you i can use proficiently! So please make the hand wheel!
Looks like arbor presses are this month's top machine shop fashion accessory! 😀
Love your Knipex Pliers Wrench! Best tool invention ever.
Turn your "catch can" upside down on the daisy wheel for a small solid table. G'day from Tasmania.
Always always always strap the load to the pallet jack. I've seen far too many things fall off from a simple bobble coming off a trailer or even a transition in a concrete slab. In addition a quick bolt on outrigger for the pallet jack is priceless for slightly sketchy situations.
Words of wisdom for all of us to remember. As Mr Pete222 says, safety is no accident.
@anomicworld yes it was. But you saw how easily he could remove some planks. The wood wouldnt be able to hold the weight....
Hi Adam, the ramp was a very good idea for the shop to make loading/unloading easy. Enjoyed the trip from my couch!!
One thing you could add that would make loading and unloading your trailer is a pair of jack's at the rear end of it. Added to the jack on the tounge, you can eliminate the bounce and sway when you're loading or unloading. I've done it on several trailers in the past, and it really helps. Just a suggestion....
Adam. take measurements of the INSIDE of that bottom "catcher." Then go to a local restaurant supply store and look for something called a Bain-Marie. It's a stainless steel cup (various sizes) that may fit in that catcher. They are not expensive and may serve you better than the catcher for collecting the cutting oil and chips. See you at the Bar-Z. Jon
That little metal bucket is called a mandrel catcher in the parts list......
Thanks for sharing your nice score Adam. Looking forward to the handwheel build.
Cheers
Good score. New. I've never seen a big arbor press that wasn't 50 years old and half beat to death.
The catch basket on the big arbor presses I've seen were usually lined with rag waste to protect shafts and broaches as they fell away from whatever they were pressed out of. And catch chips etc.
The Catch basket is called a Mandrell Catcher in the Dake manual and i would put some rubber in the bottom of it and maybe around the rim. Then use a coffee tin to catch chips or oil.
@@SuperSrjones And here I thought it was a spittoon, you learn something new every day.
Thank you for showing how this lever system works... I have never been close enough to one to be able to play around to figure it out for myself... Dru
Nice press Adam. Thanks for documenting the journey and getting it in the shop. Can’t beat a stop at Buccees!!! As a native Texan, you can not beat a Buccees BBQ sandwich, sweet tea, and some candied pecans. Breakfast tacos are awesome too! You should stop next time. I believe they are considered the largest convenience stores in the world.
I love Bucees, been there many times. You’re right about all that food.
Congratulation on getting married! Hope you two have a wonderful life ! When is little Abom coming?
That's a question for immediate family or very close friends and NOT for someone else to invade their personal lives. It's none of your business, OK.
love that crowbar style jack. It's probably one of those things that's very useful once you got it.
Holy smash-o-matic, Batman, BROACH ALL THE THINGS!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that when it comes to the rating of arbor presses one must factor in the Abomb coefficient where in a 15-ton press becomes a 30-ton press.
Damn Abom my butt puckered a few times watching the unloading. Glad it's home safe and sound
Man, you have patience for days! That Dake press is a thing of beauty! You're looking great, keep it up man!
I would love to see a video of making new jaws for that wilton
Maybe I have not noticed, but that looks like a new camera as the quality was exceptional. Excellent content, as always thank you
Most of it was shot with the Hero 7.
Really great find Adam. Be nice to see a follow up video of cleaning and setup if you can find the time. Good stuff man!
Dake is still in business and would probably make a guy with a couple of hundred thousand subs a deal on a handle.😎
Man, you made me homesick for Mobile! I love that town.
Dake is based out of Grand Haven MI. Which is a little over an hour west of where I live. I used to own a twenty ton model, so I can confirm the operation setup that you figured out. Dake is a great outfit to do business with. I used to service a lot of their older hydraulic units back in the day. Just good old fashioned bullet proof engineering, with great customer support. Another unit, manual or hydraulic, is definitely on my wish list for the future.....
That music was perfect for that drive. Nice new tool.
Putting that Burke bar to work. Essential Craftsman would be pleased.
I would say that the catch can is to catch the broach when it falls through the piece you're working on.
That Wilton vice is about $1000 new when it's on sale. Nice find. I've been wanting one for years.
'Made it!' That little smile says 'Phew!'
Andrew finds all the good stuff! Youre soo needing to find your new property for all the equipment you want for the shop... Good Luck Adam!
That tunnel was a trip! Cool!!
Good score on everything. That press looks top heavy, glad it all went according to plan.
Those are some ABOM-sized parallels! The Dake is a fine looking machine. Congrats on good buys.
it is a great tool to have when it is needed, but most of the time it is a good place to set your coffee cup.
Amazing how you always see all the cars ahead of you in the tunnel with their brake lights on. The number one reason there are so many wrecks in the tunnel... Hopefully in our lifetime there will be a bridge over the Mobile River.
Adam, show us how your 15 Ton press compress's a Hard Boiled Egg. Looks like you made another good deal. Keep the videos coming!
that move was nail biting, you're a health 'n safety nightmare, well done sir! :)
No more problems getting sardines back in the can at your place. Nice find.
We love out Buckees here in Texas!!!!
wow abom you really upped your production value in the last 4 months. great video.
Thank you
That’s an awesome find sir. NOS Dake presses can’t come along often, maybe never again!
Heya adam. I believe you are also missing a locking wrench for the table. I have a similar press either a famco or dake i don't recall rn. Anyways it looks like an identical machine. I think this is why there was so much give when you were pressing the wood. If you don't have those bolts in the back tight the table will move a bit when you're trying to press something. Food for thought.
Adam, yes sure had some anxious moments thought maybe you took your gate/ramp off your trailer glad it didn’t happen nice score on the Dake thanks for sharing.!.!.!.
I love the drive diving down in that tunnel!
I have been having a look around at stuff on that press and everything that I can find is saying that its a 12 ton one. The "catch can" (from what i can tell) can have a pad in the base and is used for catching things like broaching tools with a soft impact, the part name is a mandrel catcher. The short sliding pin that is used for dropping the tonnage down is 1" x 6 - 1/4" according to the modern equivalent parts list and has a snap ring in a groove to stop it going too far in.
BTW. Awesome Arbor. That is a beast! You will, I'm sure, be using that a lot. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Booth!! :-3 That kiss was for Abbie. :-)
Adam, on the one I used, I seem to remember there was only one pin going in from the right. Also, the big "ships wheel" was really nice. A lot of light duty tasks could be done with it alone.
Looks like the catch can on the bottom is to catch heavy pins or whatever you are pressing out so they don’t fall over on your feet
I hate working in the rain, you get it cleaned up and it will be a great addition to the shop
Real nice press Adam. A little cleanup and good as new, hard to find equipment that has not been beat to death so you got lucky there and good find on the parallels, another shop item that when you need them you really need them.
I have a Famco 3C arbor press in my shop. It has the ratcheting handle. It’s amazing the force you can apply with the leverage from that very simple tool. Mine came on the original stand. Sold for next to nothing at the tool and die shop auction where I purchased it.
Good vid Adam. You look very happy these days. New job and beautiful new wife. That kind of Happiness means low blood pressure and just healthier stress free living. Happy for you dude.
Was holding my breath as you dragged it off the trailer there... nice piece of equipment.
Thanks Adam!!... For almost giving me a heart attack!!😱😱😰. Seeing your hands and feet go underneath!, Oh man!! Lol, but glad all went well!! Think the trailer can use a metal floor for what u haul! Just my 2 cents!! Much love💗, be safe.👍👍
Me too! I shouted out KEEP YOU FEET OUT FROM UNDER ... !!! Someone shouted from the kitchen while fixing our dinner ... "who are you talking too?"
@@jimbeaver3426 Haha, I get that too!!
Dake also sell parts. You could get a handwheel from them. Their model 5 uses handwheel part number 294.
We live in an arid country but have similar weather today . Here we call a rainy day ,beautiful

Nice score(s).
Yep; a new bed for that trailer is definitely needed soon.
Nice Press!!! ❤
Adam, you made me a little nervous while you were unloading that arbor press. You might consider putting a couple of jacks under the trailer to help keep it from rocking around.
I love how it says "Fragile" on it.
So, So, So glad the thing didn't tip over during unloading, I have to admit I watched this video with my hands over my eyes like a horror flick! An I think Dake should send you a replacement handle as a thank you for saving one of their presses from the scrap heap!
Beautiful press. I wish we had one that nice at work.
