Another Tool Bargain

[kd4gij]

my greenerd 3 Ton press is useful for broaching alluminum .not so for steel ...
FWIW ..been using lead & rawhide hammers to manually dirve the broaches whne too lazy to set up the shaper ...trepedisiously at first but so far no chipped teeth .
FWUW #2 have seen statements that using a hydraulic press ,requires frequent backing off to let broach starighten out ,last guy broke the broach not doing so ....no personal experience here....
best wishes

I use a hydraulic press for broaching stanless and bronze props every day yes yiu back out frequent. But you should do the same thing with an arborpress. I would much reather let the press do the work than me.
