    Arbor presses are wonderfully useful in ways slow hydraulic presses cannot match. i buy mine used for much less than new and the big heavy ones often go cheap.
    A visit to your local steel supplier may yield cheap leftovers from cutting for previous customers and should you choose to fab more shop equipment like an arbor press stand (for which you can cut the pieces than have a welder finish weld if you do not weld) it's worth learning your local metal supply options.

    It's a truly amazing machine, as i have something quit similar to this one, where you put your puncher inside a whole and tighten it with a screw. It helped alot with the noise. And i can use it for stamping shapes fast on leather, but, the stamper are unfortunately made of a weaker metal that wont stand a 1ton pressure, so they easily bend and give me uneven shapes after a while. But I've got around it by making a perfect housing space of steel to help the tools not bend. Otherwise. It's a must to get for any leather worker indeed

      Geordie Leather Quick question, did you actually use an N52 neodymium rare earth magnet in your video which is what you’re linking to? I ask because the one you linked to is meant to lift 200-250 pounds and would absolutely crush your finger flat if it got between the magnets and the press, it may also magnetize the press over time.

    • @HobbyBloxs
      @HobbyBloxs  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi. This video was made a long time ago. If the original magnet linked to is no longer available, Amazon will normally show you something it thinks is similar. I have no control over what Amazon shows you. All I can say is that lots of people have bought the magnet linked to in their country and nobody has mentioned any problems. Sorry I can't be of more help.

    ugh, I wish i had seen this prior to purchase of the red tandy press. i like using it but limited in use beyond the attachments that cost an arm and a leg.
    still going to buy another press like yours for die cutting purposes.
    I love your videos, your voice is very calming, clear and easily understood.
    the way you make your overall presentations is a huge help to me.

    YOU are the brilliant one! Thank you for demonstrating the sheer number of incredibly helpful applications for the arbor press. I did not realize the potential of this tool. Using the magnet and replacing steel plate with shape attached for stability are also fantastic. Thank you for your generosity in sharing such important knowledge to help many of us!

    Great video! I researched modifications to my arbor press awhile ago, but with all the custom machine work to drill the hole and install a set screw, etc. the cost was more than the press! I gave up on that idea and bought a tabletop drill press to easily put my stamping tools in the chuck. Works great. Still, I would like to revisit this arbor press option now that I've seen your amazingly simple approach. It appears that Amazon has done some substituting on the U.S. link, because that magnet is nothing like the one you are using in the video. The spec's are totally different. It's GIANT and far too strong. People are having trouble getting it off their press! The U.K. link is also looks different, but the magnet has the same specs and size as yours except for the thickness which doesn't seem to be critical, so I thought I would see if I can order it from your suggested source in the U.K. If you haven't checked the link recently, would you mind pulling it up to see if that is, indeed, the correct magnet that I should order? I also have a question about the tools you were attaching to the magnet. Did you have to grind the ends flat so they would have a better surface to stick to the magnet? A lot of my tools have rounded ends on the handles. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. I really enjoyed all the demos of what can be done with the arbor press, all because of a little magnet. Genius!!!!!

    • @HobbyBloxs
      @HobbyBloxs  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hello. Thanks for your detailed comment. This video was made some time ago and the original link to the recommended magnets may have changed since then. Amazon will suggest alternatives (I have no control over what they show people). I will look at the links again and update them, if I can. As for flattening tool ends. I haven't needed to do this with any of my tools.

    Geordie: I have seen others use a keyless drill chuck in the ram. (If the ram has a hole drilled in it and a set screw) My press has a hole drilled in it so I am looking for a cheap chuck. The keyless chuck would eliminate the magnet and hold the tool more securely straight up and down. I still need to alter the steel plate I bought to be like yours. Adding the plastic key to the bottom. My workbench has a wood working hold-fast on the top. So, I mounted my arbor press on a thick piece of wood and can use the hold-fast to keep it from tipping forward.

    Hi Geordie, I just found your video today and am glad I did. This one piece of equipment will save me money with the different things it can do. I sew and dabble with a little leather. I am wondering if this machine could be used to cut fabric for name tags for garment as well? I meant to ask, are you still making these videos? This one is 4 yrs ago, I hate to bother you if you are no longer doing these videos. I am from Detroit, Michigan. Love your videos
