What size press do I need to do this? Can I get away with a 1 Ton arbor press? Or do I need something more powerfull?

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | OK, if I were looking for a shop press this is a great one. OTC press I used one and was quite im pressed, it's a lot of press for the money and well made. They have larger and smaller and even bench top ones as well. Grigg | | |
