Arbor Press (04/05/2011 , 21:35)
An arbor-press designed to be operated by hand. In using this machine the work is placed on the plate, and the arbor is forced into the work by the ram which is operated by the lever. The connection between the lever and the ram is made by means of a train of spur-gears, the last of which engages the rack teeth on the ram. The lever has a ratchet connection with its shaft, which with the hand-wheel admits of quick return of the ram. Both ram and lever are counterweighted. These machines are made in smaller sizes also, some of which are designed to be secured to the bed of the lathe.
