Made from sturdy, cast iron construction, the Ratcheting Arbor Press from Palmgren features a removable machined steel anvil with four slot positions. The arm provides an optimal leverage position with a consistent application of force. It also offers more clearance over the table for broaching and pressing large items. It is counterweighted for rapid handle return. The rugged steel ram, driven by a machined pinion, is reversable with one end solid and the other end has a hole and magnet to hold bits and tools.
