Setup and Operation
Arbor Press Features
The arbor press consists of a cast iron base, an
anvil, a pressing handle with lock knob, and a rack-
type ram.
The removable anvil has four cutouts used for
pressing on or off bearings or various sized
bushings.
Set-up and Operation
Note:
Numbers in parentheses below correspond to
item numbers in the exploded view on page 8.
Do not use the arbor press
without first mounting the arbor press to the
workbench and anchoring the workbench to the
floor. Mount the arbor press to the workbench
using bolts and using the holes in the base (1).
Changing Ram Position
The ram has a flat surface on one end and a hole
on the other end. The hole is used to accept the
punch inserts. Change-out the ram as follows:
A. Remove the handle by loosening the knob
(17). Remove one cap (5) from the handle
assembly. Remove handle (6) from the pinion
(16).
B. Remove the pinion retainer (14) by backing
off the Set Screw (13). Slide the pinion
retainer (14) off of the pinion (16).
C. Pull up on the ram (4) to provide slack and
remove the pinion (16) from the arbor press.
D. Pull the ram (4) out the top of the arbor press
body. Turn the ram (4) end-for-end.
Tip: If ram does not freely come out of arbor
press body, loosen the two hex nuts (11) on
side of arbor press body and the two hex nuts
(11) on the front plate (12).
E. Repeat steps A – D in reverse.
Maintenance
A. Periodically lubricate the arbor press with a
light machine oil.
B. Wipe off or vacuum the accumulated debris
and dust after using the arbor press.
C. Periodically check the ram for side-to-side and
front-to-back play. If the play is excessive,
loosen the hex nuts (11) and adjust (tighten) the
screws (10 on side, 9 in front) just enough to
eliminate the excess play. Tighten them equally
to assure even contact with the ram (4).
D. Once the play is eliminated, hold the screw
(10 or 9) in position and tighten the hex nut
(11). Check to make sure the amount of play
is acceptable.
