Thank you for all the examples and ideas for tooling for an Arbor press, I'm presently updating mine to tap into the potential for many more projects. The felt lathe way wipers idea is win for sure! :)
Richard, Awesome video! I am looking at making some press attachments to help me bend some small parts made out of .030 aluminum or even possibly 16g steel. This video helps!
Great ideas. Unfortunately I don’t have a metal lathe. I wonder if I could use my wood lathe to do some of the milling. I guess the only way to know is to give it a try.
Thank you very much for this wonderful video. I just bought an AborPress and am now looking for various jigs for it. Your video is a great inspiration for it.
Great video. I just picked up a used arbor press for a specific purpose and thought I'd check out videos on what else could be done with it. You've got some great ideas here.
To preserve your cutting tools you should always place a piece of scrap leather under the one you're punching. This goes for even when you're not using the press. I went through a lot of punches before I learned that tip on another youtube video.
Hi. do you think it's feasable to flatten a bit of 6mm silver ingot? I'm thinking of getting one as to not hammer the metal before setting it in a rolling mill. but I'm not sure that this can do that
I just bought a 1 ton press to help with metal stamping for jewelry, but I'm not sure how to go about mounting it. My work spaces are Ikea desks unfortunately, but I was thinking I could use a wood tree stump.
A sturdy bench or table are best but anything is better than nothing. :) If you mount it to a heavy piece of Plywood then clamp to your table when needed may be an option. Cheers.
@@Gillian.creates Look at carriage bolts. Up through the ply , with the threaded portion above. So that the nuts or wing nuts can secure the press.... Good luck!
What is the dimension of the hole at the bottom of the rack before it was drilled? I was planning a standard punch out of the box to use this in driving out pressed-fit pins.
Happy new year man !! Just wondering if you could or be interested in selling a set of tools for the press . Please let me know if you be interested . I don't have many tools but I would like to get a press and bam be ready. Thanks

Never really had a use for an arbor press . I think you enlighten me on the possibility of different tooling to use.
Keep making arbor press videos b/c there are not a lot of them out there. And, this one has been the best that I've seen.
Thanks David. I appreciate the comment and watching the video. Cheers.
The cup washer concept was totally worth it
Thanks. :)
The idea to make the press a pseudo ratcheting press is top notch!
Very precise and very well done and professionally done job
Those are some great tips, add a lot more usefulness to the arbor press.

Very nice video to understand functioning of Arbour press and cutting techniques, thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you.
Great video. I'm going to dust off my 1 ton press and use your ideas and make some new toolings.
Thanks Dan. Wishing you success. Cheers.
Never too late to learn a new trick, or a new tool!!! Thanks!!!
You got that right!
Excellent video. Great ideas!
Cheers! Some excellent ideas well presented!
I don't think I need one, but with the quality of your video and narration it was still worth watching.
Thanks for your kind commentary. Cheers.
Very helpful. Thanks for posting. I’ll check out your heavier press videos.
I appreciate your positive feedback. It is my only reward for the time I put into it. Cheers.
You've given me so many ideas, thank you.
Cheers.
I would be tempted to replace the set screw in the ram, with one that had a spring loaded ball nose detent.
Very nice adaptations. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the feedback! Cheers.
Thanks for sharing very illusrative
Thanks! One of your tooling ideas did happily surprise me! Best regards always.
Perfect! Thanks.
Great video! What did you use for the longer handle. What was the length and OD? Method?
Thanks! I used 1018 cold rolled. It is 5/8 inch. I keep a bunch of 1018 in different dimesnions in my shop. It is cheap and also welds easy. Cheers.
@@ChannelofRichPierik Thank You. What length did you use? Your Mods to the Arbor Press were very useful.
@@elizabethrogers6897 double the original. Cheers.
I've this machine, and I use it also for leather. thanks for video.
Nice little video, I have one of those presses, but only considered using it for prressing bushing and bearings, thanks for the tip!
Glad to help. Cheers.
Very clear and informative. Gave me some great ideas. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. Cheers!
Thanks for the great info/ideas!
Like several others that have commented, I recently purchased a 3 ton press, and your video has been very helpful-
I appreciate the feedback. Cheers!
Have you thought of adding spring to pull arm upward during multi tooling ?
Great video I have only just got mine This was really what I needed best Regards
Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate it. Cheers!
Nice work.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Great video.
Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it!. Cheers.
Great job. Thank you 😊
It is very informative
I welded a half inch drive socket on the end of my spline gear and use a ratchet. when I dont want the ratchet I attach a breaker bar.
Lots of great ideas. Thanks!
You are welcome. Cheers!
great video, thank you for sharing
Thanks for your feedback. Cheers.
Fantastic info!
Outstanding!
Very good ideas thanks
You are so welcome!

Where did you get the round press that goes on the the press ram??
I made it using my metal lathe. Cheers.
@@ChannelofRichPierik thank you sir, do you sell them??
@@terryswails1191 I would. Send dimensions here. And I can give you a price. Cheers.

Hi. do you think it's feasable to flatten a bit of 6mm silver ingot? I'm thinking of getting one as to not hammer the metal before setting it in a rolling mill. but I'm not sure that this can do that
I think you need a higher tonnage machine. Cheers.

@@ChannelofRichPierik are there various screw options, or just a general wood screw?
@@Gillian.creates Look at carriage bolts. Up through the ply , with the threaded portion above. So that the nuts or wing nuts can secure the press.... Good luck!
@@ChannelofRichPierik thank you! I appreciate the info 😊
What was the cone angle you machined for the top punch on the hole punch set? It seems to work well! Nice job
Hey Wonderwolf. I is 110 degree included angle. Cheers.
thank you sir
You are welcome. :)
What is the dimension of the hole at the bottom of the rack before it was drilled? I was planning a standard punch out of the box to use this in driving out pressed-fit pins.
Would like to use this on this application if it can take standard punch: th-cam.com/video/EL4xzwKCByw/w-d-xo.html
There was not a hole prior to drilling it. Cheers.
Excellent!
thank you very informative video
You're welcome. Cheers.
Do you sell the complete set as we see it??? and for how much???
Hi Aaron. I don't sell them. Cheers.
Pretty awesome but most people don't have the tooling to make those custom pieces. Might be cool to make and sell kits.
That's what you should do. Get a lathe or find someone with a lathe and make kits.
Happy new year man !!

Hi. I don't sell the set. Thanks.
