Arbor presses are an important tool. We use ours here at AndyMark daily. Also, the TechnoKats have one that is used very often.

These tasks are done on the AndyMark arbor press:
Press bearings into press-fit holes in plates, wheels, and gears
Press dowel pins into holes (today was AM Planetary day)
Swedge (is that a word?) over bore holes in AM Omni Wheels so that the bearing stays in better
Press in PEM nuts into Super Shifter side plates
Press in roll pins into Toughbox shaft holes that are drilled too small
Oh, and we broach a few things also

Don't get a 1 ton press... it is not big enough. Get a 3 ton press, like the one here at Northern Tool. I see the ones with a ratchet, but I don't think that is needed for these uses.

A 2 ton press may be big enough, but probably not for a 1/2" broach.

A good arbor press is your friend.

Andy
