Arbor Press Features
The arbor press (see Exploded view on page 8)
consists of a cast iron base, an anvil, a pressing
handle with lock knob, and a rack-type ram.
The removable anvil has four cutouts that can
be used for pressing off or pressing on bearings
or bushings of various sizes.
Set-up and Operation
Note: Numbers in parentheses below
correspond to item numbers in the exploded
view on page 8.
Do not use the arbor press
without first securing the arbor press to the
workbench and anchoring the workbench to
the floor.
Mount the arbor press to the workbench or stand
and secure with bolts using the holes in the base
(1). Also, secure the workbench or stand to the
floor.
Changing Ram Position
The ram has a flat surface on one end and a
hole on the other end. The hole is used to
accept the punch inserts. Change-out the ram
as follows:
A. Remove the handle by loosening the knob
(17). Then remove one cap (5) from the
handle assembly. Remove handle (6) from
the pinion (16).
B. Remove the pinion retainer (14) by backing
off the Set Screw (13). Now slide the pinion
retainer (14) off of the pinion (16).
C. Pull up on the ram (4) enough to provide
slack to remove the pinion (16) from the
arbor press.
D. Pull the ram (4) out the top of the arbor
press body. Turn the ram (4) end-for-end.
Tip: If ram does not freely come out of arbor
press body, loosen the two hex nuts (11) on
side of arbor press body and the two hex
nuts (11) on the front plate (12).
E. Repeat steps A – D in reverse.
Maintenance
A. Periodically lubricate the arbor press with a
light machine oil.
B. Wipe off or vacuum the accumulated debris
and dust after using the arbor press.
C. Periodically check the ram for side-to-side and
front-to-back play. If the play is excessive,
loosen the hex nuts (11) and adjust (tighten)
the screws (10 on side, 9 in front) just enough
to eliminate the excess play. Tighten them
equally to assure even contact with the ram
(4).
D. Once the play is eliminated, hold the screw
(10 or 9) in position and tighten the hex nut
(11). Check to make sure the amount of play
is acceptable.
