Look what the cat dragged in.
I am very happy to own this.
It has a 12 1/2” work area.
I did a favor for my neighbor. He wanted to thank me.

What’s the trick to allow for adjustment in the arm?
Something about grinding off a couple teeth?
You know, so the arm is in the 10:00 position when you need it.

What do you think about this?
I make a plate and mount the arbor press to the Delta stand?
Too top heavy?

You can mill off the last 2-3 teeth on the rack. That way when you retrack the rack it can continue to rotate the handle until you get the position you want and then crank it back down.

Best to bolt the stand to the floor, all too easy to tip them over, A worthwhile project would be to make a ratchet arm to replace the fixed handle, I have one very similar to yours but another brand.

But, you will lose travel if and when you do that.
