Re: Arbor Press
We made a few broaches this year with a standard 4" vise, however it was not easy since the part was only supported on one side. We were able to broach Delrin and 1/4" aluminum, but we couldn't keep everything aligned due to the greater forces when we tried to broach a steel sprocket.

We tried using our drill press to get the pinion off the fisher price motor, which did nothing but wear out our drill press. I'm really hoping we can get an arbor press for next year.
