For what I do, that press is awesome. It has a couple of draw-backs, the height is a bit low at 12" and the hole through the tabel a bit small at about 3-1/8"

I have a couple of sizes of bearing knives, and they are used most ot the time to form the table support. I did not get a turret with it, and even on other ones I have used, rarely used the turret anyways.

I have recently added another set of sleeves to the inventory.

The set of sleeves shown in the cabinet doors, are 9.55 mm x 6.15 mm up to 49.26 mm x 42.86 mm in both 38 mm and 101.5 mm long. It was a service fixture available to repair shops for Porter Cable and came on a wood carrier as shown on the bench in this other picture of a friend's shop. I found that mounting them in the doors of the cabinets worked better and kept them from getting bounced around, taking less room on benches etc.

The set I added is the Mueller Kueps which goes from 44 mm (38 mm) x 34 mm up to 82 mm (76 mm) x 72 mm in 55 mm long in 2 mm steps, with an internal step at one end so that they can nest together.

As for the stand, if I was to do it over again, I think I would aim more towards a roll cab tool box and have it set up so that there could be the sleeves and storage of press fixtures in the drawers of the cabinet. As it is it is mostly just wasted space under the press.

Looking in the KBC Catalogue, a new equivalent Dake is over $7,087.50

Here is the current Arbor Press Catalogue from Greenerd

If you look in the pictures I have posted above, you will see a number of examples of press sleeves.

When you are transfering the presses force to press on a bearing. You place the bearing over the shaft and start pressing, but it only goes on until the end of the shaft is flush with the bearing, that is if the shaft was not so much smaller that the bearing just slid past and you can not then press on the bearing anymore.

You take a press sleeve that has a bore diameter just larger than the shaft you are pressing onto that will transfer direct force onto the race that is being pressed on. You must never put pressure on the loose side of the bearing as you will damage the innner surfaces of the races and the balls.


If you follow through this next series of photos,
you will see an armature shaft without a bearing on it.
When the bearing is placed on it, the bearing drops a bit until it hits a shoulder on the shaft that is an interference fit.
We then choose a sleeve that has a bore larger than the shaft that will press against the inner race of the bearing and is longer than the length of "free shaft" and place that over the shaft
so that it rests firmly on the inner race of the bearing and
apply force with the press to seat the bearing against the turned shoulder, snap ring or whatever other means was provided to locate the bearing.
With the arbor press ram moved back up, we then have a press sleeve still sitting over the shaft,
which when removed leaves us with a bearing, properly pressed onto the shaft.

Thank you very much for the explanation. I have been using sockets and what ever else is hanging around for that function. It never occurred to me to make them up and keep them as a set of "tools". I have never heard them given a name before I suppose. Well thats another project on the list.
Thanks again for your time!!!!
