I’ve been on the hunt for quite a while for a larger arbor press specifically for broaching. I have an old 2tn Jet arbor press that did great for all my projects so far but doesn’t have the umph or stroke for 8mm or 3/8 broaches. The other day this popped up and it was kinda rusty looking so I didn’t look close. But went back and took a closer look and it’s might be technically an antique as Manley made these until like the 20’s when they went hydraulic. I’d never even seen one but after taking dive looking it up it seems like just what I’m looking for replacing my Jet. Looks to be in the 20tn range. Being mechanical it will still have some feel but way more umph and plenty of stroke. I’m going Saturday to check it out and baring major defects I’ll be adding to my Old Iron collection.
