Hi Michele. That was an ‘impressive’ episode. Not only can you visualise the finished product in a pile of ‘scrap metal’ you proceed to fabricate beautiful parts as if by magic. Oh so inspirational. Looking forward to the next instalment. 👏👏👍😀
Awesome. I have a small arbor press but always wished it was taller so I could use it from broaching. Now you’ve got me thinking which is always dangerous. Looking forward to the series.
Why do you need an arbor press you ask? Because you never know when you might have to press an arbor that's why!😁 As always Michel, fun interesting projects you come up with. Cheers
Great project Michel! I wish I was not on the otherside of the Atlantic Ocean, or I would weld it up for you lol! I sent you out some of my stickers this week tho. Can't wait untill part 2.
Hi Michel! Pure mechanics of other times there!! I love to see the Shaper (almost unobtainable here in Italy, especially for the size like yours) and the setup of your Deckel to cut the gears! Really super heavy and rigid! Months ago I had thought of making a rack for a friend and then a video, but it is quite difficult with a vertical milling machine like mine to cut them, I had thought of shaping an end mill with the shape of a tooth profile but then I gave up ! I envy you so much now because you did it!! Well done!! A super project!! See you soon! Ciao, Alberto
Lovely work so far. Tools making tools. Awesome. Fun story, I got an arbor press for braking nuts in the shop. It has become a very valuable tool as well, you don't know how many times a person uses a bridge until one is built.
Nice job on the pinion and rack teeth. Like you, I've found that parting or form tool cuts on my little shaper are a recipe for chatter. The only solution I've found is to clamp the parts directly to the table for maximum rigidity, no overhang past the jaws as there is with a vice. Also keeping my tool bit as short as possible.
Hey Rusti. The last time I watched you, I remembered you had your car in your shop. Two items friend, first I did buy a hand bandsaw, like you have. Got a rid of that blade handle. I used a 6mm hex nut instead. A company called DAKE, got hired. But they were known for making Arbor Press units. We only had so far, had one bad winter snow storm. Good luck making an Arbor Press 🙂
Hi Michel ☺ looks like a good start to this project, I shall look forward to the next episode, stay warm and safe my friend, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Like others, this build is right up your alley. The soft back ground music was also a nice touch, well orchestrated 👍. I am in the process of modifying a concrete coring tower (has a 40in x 1.5in rack) into an arbor press / wood splitter / can crusher. Will share when completed. I have a #3 press, but since roughcut2023 and I built that hydraulic air assist press, the #3 became a floor ornament,, (@@)! See you on part 2, Bear.
Great project Michel, I really like the setup for cutting gears on that mill, it looks sturdy and accurate and easy to use, i enjoyed the video very much, nice for a winters day. Cheers my friend!
Great video and explanation Michel. I have an arbor press on my 'to do' list as well so these videos will help me when I get on to that project. unfortunately its not easy to find scrap steel that thickness here, but something will come along at some point.
Nice build ! I very much like that you do not weld it togheter so it can be altered easely if needed. I know these big arbor presses are expensive ,so building them would be saving a lot of money. However i think i would not bother making the rack and pinion myself. Its time consuming and you need proper tools/machines to make them ....tools and machines i do not have. They can be found very cheap in C45 steel ( hardable steel). A heavy module 4 rack( its 40mm square and 500 mm long) and a fitting module 4 pinion ( smallest is 12 teeth) would cost me 70 euro including shipping to my adress. Greetings from Belgium ;)
Looks like it's going to be very solid tool. Out of interest how long did it take to cut the teeth on the ram? Look forward to the next installment. Great video!! Good luck from a snowy Spain!!
Nice work! I just recently bought an Fp1 and I’ve watched you videos on the table support. I see you are not using it in this video despite the same setup with the single lip cutter and dividing head that you discussed in that series. Did the support not work out as intended? Or was it not needed after all?
I'm really interested in this Michel. Rack and pinion are great machining projects. What cutting fluid do you use?, I'm trying to find semi synthetic vegetable-based fluid here in UK but struggling to find a supplier at the moment. Cheers
Thanks Michel, that's another one not available in the UK but I can see the specification and it is interesting to see what you pay. I am going to have to dig deep in my pocket for the quality stuff 😁 Cheers
" WHY DO I NEED AN ARBOR PRESS ?" Sir you are afflicted with Machinenditus,, It's curable only by large doses of your favorite beverage taken three times a day, if you stop treatment it will come back very quickly.
I'll be here next week. Thanks
Thanks. Me too :)

Best shaper man on the tube of you's 👍
Glad you think so :)
Good Job Son Good Job The answer as to why you need an arbor press is an easy one
"BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ONE"
You're right. Thanks.

It's not magic. It's just go for it.
Dramatic background music. Nice touch. Cool video!!
Maybe it's a dramatic build. I don't know :)
Another first class production.👍
Thanks.
"Note to self device " perfect description Michel.
Elegant FP 1 in use.
Great project, looking forward to the build.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks.
I LIKED IT A LOT, HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND I SEE YOU THEN.
Thanks Kimber.

You're not just a pretty face Rusty, nice work 👍

That's a very good reason. Thanks.
Very nice, looking forward to next week's episode 😎👌

Absolutely outstanding work mate. Good job Rustinox 👏👍🍻
Thanks Aaron.

Thanks Al. I will bolt the thing together, so...
Michel!
That's a mammoth task you have!
Looking good so far 😊😊😊
Looks like it. Thanks.
Nice one Rusti. That will be a great thing to have in the workshop. Will look forward to the next part.
Regards.
Steve.
Thanks Steve.
Great build. It amazing me how you always seem to have great lumps of steel just lying around waiting to be made into something!
This was an unique find.
Looks great!! An arbor press is a real nice addition to the shop!
Thanks Chris. I think so too.

Go for it, Alberto. You can do it. For sure :)
@@Rustinox Thanks Michel! 😅
Gday, this is going to be an interesting build, looking forward to seeing part 2, cheers
Me too Matty :) Thanks.

Thanks Bruno. So you have an arbor nut cracker :)
1:03 - Oh, he needs the chalkboard to tell us what project he has that requires the arbor press!
1:05 - ahh
Gotcha :)
Interesting project Michel
looking forward to its progression

Pure talent. Nice one Rusti.
Thanks Anthony.
Hello Rusti. I like the project, and like how you listed out the reasons for having one. I look forward to the next instalment. Mart.
Thanks Mart.
Great video rusty, keep'um coming..
That's the plan.
Lookin Good! Enjoyed watching, thanks for your time.
Thanks Jon.
You are geared up for this one Michel. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Thanks Harold.
Great work, mate.. nice work with the centre turning, I find turning between centres, much more rewarding. looking forward to the next bit. cheers.
Thanks Paul.
This will work🙏. 👍🏴
I think so too.
I’m impressed Rusti! I’m also looking forward to the next installment. This is a terrific project 👍
Thanks Dudley.

Thanks Howie.
And when this is finished you will have to make som arbors so you can press them 😁
One step at the time, Bill :)
Looking forward to see how this one turns out. I will be using this for inspiration as I have a "pressing" need for a press!
Working on it, Olly. More next week :)
Great video and explanation Michel. I have an arbor press on my 'to do' list as well so these videos will help me when I get on to that project. unfortunately its not easy to find scrap steel that thickness here, but something will come along at some point.
I'm sure you'll find useful stuff to make one.
Looks like a good start . Check that round base plate , it looks like a cast iron blanking plate for high pressure water pipes . 👍
It's a blind flange for a 8" pipe and it's steel. So you where very close :)
Looking good so far. Lookin forward how this new adventure is developing. Cool Project.
Thanks. Working on it.
Great job so far Rustinox, roll on part two. Tony
It's in the making.
Hello Michel,
A really interesting project, which I look forward to watching, You've got off to a good start...
Take care.
Paul,,
Thanks Paul.
Because everybody needs a press! 👍
Could well be :)
good video rustinox
Thanks.
Stay warm Rusty
I'll do my best :)
Thanks for sharing. Great project.
Thanks Sam.
It must be nice to be able to find big chunks of steel like that.
Regards, Preso
This was an unique find. I don'd think I will ever find similar scrap again.
Looking good !!
Thanks Alan.
Cool project Rust! That rake must have taken you ages.
Well no. Cutting all these teeth is rather quick.
Thanks
Welcome.
Cool build!
I thi,k so too.
"Why do I need an arbor press?" Because you do. Because you can.
That's a very good reason.

I think we have to do with what we have and be happy with it.
Greetings from Belgium too :)
Nice one Michel, no point in thinking small eh?
Or no thinking at all :)
Very posh indexer!!
Made in China :)
Looks like it's going to be very solid tool. Out of interest how long did it take to cut the teeth on the ram? Look forward to the next installment.
Great video!!
Good luck from a snowy Spain!!
I made the ram spread over 3 days, so it's hard to tell. But it doesn't take long to cut the teeth.
I actually had an arbor press some years back. At the time I didn't know what it was, and threw it in the scrap metal bin. Not my brightest moment :(
You're right. Not...eh...well...
please can you share the model of your rotary head ? (at minute 4:00) never seen something before. thank you !! great video !!
Google "deckel fp1 dividing head". I have the Chinese copy of it.
@@Rustinox thank you !!
Nice work! I just recently bought an Fp1 and I’ve watched you videos on the table support. I see you are not using it in this video despite the same setup with the single lip cutter and dividing head that you discussed in that series. Did the support not work out as intended? Or was it not needed after all?
The support itself works very well. It's just that I can't use it when I tilt the table. Sometimes I don't take the time to put it back on.
I'm really interested in this Michel. Rack and pinion are great machining projects. What cutting fluid do you use?, I'm trying to find semi synthetic vegetable-based fluid here in UK but struggling to find a supplier at the moment. Cheers
Phantom multi cooling concentrate. 80€ for 5L. Works great. You can also use it as cutting oil for tapping or shaper, if a bit more concentrated.
Thanks Michel, that's another one not available in the UK but I can see the specification and it is interesting to see what you pay. I am going to have to dig deep in my pocket for the quality stuff 😁 Cheers
Why make an arbor press? Why not?
You're right.

The good news is, it doesn't hurt :)
Step 1. Have Fun, Step 2. Make stuff, Step 3. why = who needs a reason... LGFI (Lets Go For It) Gilles :)
Spot on, Gilles.
That is a nice attachment for the mill. You are building cool stuff Michel.🔩⚒🔧
Indeed it is. It's a Chinese copy, but it works.
