This finally came yesterday. A little 1 ton arbor press. It's nice for pressing bearings. It works pretty well. I used it to press new bearings for my table saw. It was dirt cheap. It's from Vevor and after a small discount, it was a measly $65 with free shipping. It's a little rough on the casting and the machining, but nothing that impairs its function. For the money, I'm pretty pleased with it. I've bought quite a few things from Vevor now and, so far, I've been happy with the stuff. The prices are usually about half, or even less, of what a brand name costs. Yea, it's Chinese. However, 90%+ of the brand name stuff is also Chinese. It is what it is, I suppose.

Neighbor has a machine shop he has a big one I bent my custom wolf fang driver using it as a hitch pin his boy straightened it out easily using that press they seem very handy. U joints come to mind and bearing like you did very cool.

That be heavy duty enough to do U joints?

I have one it's a useful tool.

It should be, it's a 1 ton

I got the No3 and its a useful tool for sure

Finster,
Did you build those cabinets? Fancy looking veneer.

You drilled holes in your bench tops…..for shame! LOL

Just don't show that thing to Wolfie .... he will want to borrow it to neck down 700 nitro to .17 sparrow fart or something like that. I am not telling him that I have the 3 ton version either

That’s what happens when you shine up the workshop- new toys start showing up

Yup, I did an entire post on it a couple of weeks ago from start to finish.

Yup, not an easy thing to do.

A little overkill for trap laminations I would think, lol.

Nice looking press. What's the green stuff outside the window?

For as often a the regular guy puts in bearings its a great deal.

Those are nice, sometimes you can find good used ones especially if your looking for a bigger one that’s an economical option.
