Arbor press bits?

Here's a trick: super cheap Aluminum chuck, sticks on with magnets. Make sure your pin goes all the way through!

Agreed. The top of this particular ram was also hammered on by the PO for extra oomph and likely why there was a bit of mess on the business end.

@NC Rick - you could always do both the bore and square adapters. Best of both worlds. Nice looking shop BTW. I like that depth stop on that 1 arbor press.

Thank you for complementing my mess! I use the stop with a return spring for multiple parts. In that case, inserting tiny roll pins which are a PITA!

Now that we've entered sketchy territory...

I made this for my other arbor press which has a threaded bore from the PO. I realize sockets may not be ideal to press with, but convenient in a pinch.

great idea. Wish I had thought of that first , I think we all use sockets to press the outer or inner part of whatever we are pressing. Or to clear the item that we want to push out.

yup, don't use them in the 22tn, but the 2tn arbor press. I've gathered all kinds of pipe scraps and keep them on the side of my AP with magnets.

Sockets are terrible press tools which I only use when they fit! Way quicker than making one

I love that socket adapter!

Me too! it's already on my project list.... maybe even three: 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2".
Last night I drilled, tapped and installed a thread repair kit to my upper press block just for this......

After reading all these posts I thought I would drill and tap my HF 20 ton press so I can screw some different ends/points . Got the hole drilled , tomorrow I’ll tap it and make some ends out of grade 8 bolts
