Now I get why those two teeth are ground off, nice modification and thank you for the complete explanation.
Glad to help
Nice modifications! Thank you for sharing!
"Let me move this camera back. I'm tired of buying cameras" hahahaha!! I relate to that so much
it does't take long to ruin one.
Thanks for the video Can’t wait to see the rest of your modifications your friend G-man
Thanks G-man.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Right on, did the tooth mode to mine. Works great!
Thanks for sharing your mods. I can’t wait for my press to come in and to start working leather with it.
Have fun! Alex thanks for the comment.
I just got one for Christmas. Now I finally get to tryout some of these mods.😊
cool let me know how it goes.
I really appreciate your expertise and your time to show all of your skills and knowledge, I recently become interested in working with leather and I bought the same Arbor press you have, I been modifying mine just like yours and I want to thank you for all the information on your channel.
Thank you so much glad I could help if you need anything else let me know.
@@Robinson-Homestead I think I'm good for now, I modified a 3/8 drill chuck last weekend too, I will be trying my stamps in the next few days and try to make some small projects, I'm pretty new working with leather and I have a lot to learn, But I really appreciate you sharing
Good idea passed along. Thank you.
i can smell the WD from here, nice work
Lol thanks for the comment.
Just ordered one and this is the first thing I'm gonna do when mine arrives
It's working great thank you for the comment.
Good info! Get well.. Thank you and take care.. Paul.
Very cool!!
EXCELLENT!
Many thanks!
Great mod thanks for sharing
Thanks Jerry.
Liked this one Kevin, even more than the Unicorn Hair Bow Holder. (-:
Just got mine. You were right about the crap in the blind holes. Wow.
Thanks for the comment Jeff good luck.
Will definetly give mine a good clean after seeing this.
Thank you for watching my video.
Didn't even have to check the "About" to know you're from the great state of PA. That "yins" was a dead giveaway.🤣
Great video man - keep her lit!
Lol thanks for the comment Sandstorm.
I've got to do this. If I'd seen this or thought of it earlier I could have done it today. It's such an obvious idea once you see it.
Thanks for watching Harri.
I took mine back to harbor freight because I couldn’t get the handle in position to press on anything. I may go get another press from them now that I know how to adjust the handle. Thanks for the mod video.
Thanks for the comment glad to help Merry Christmas.
Nice 👍 innovation
Thank you.
Needing to modify new tools irritates the daylights out of me. I have seen it far too many times. A fine job here by you my friend !
Thank you Tomoko's.
I mean getting a harbor freight press. Paying 5 percent of what you would a good manufacturer. Then complaining seems really whiny. I'd rather get it dirt cheap then spend a day cleaning it up then pay 20 times the price.
@@jmgraydz For those of us that can do it is great. Unfortunately there are soooo many that are just plain ignorant of being able to do that.
Great video! Im doing the same to mine!
Interesting about the grinder gearbox. I bought a grinder from Princess Auto (Canada's equivilant to Harbour Freight) which had a problem getting up to speed. You found no grease? mine the guy must have figured that if a little is good, a lot is better. Literally the gearbox was filled to the rim with grease. I scooped about half of it out after which it started running properly. Really, if you embrace it, buying tools from these companies is kind of like a surprise party with every purchase. Cheers.
You are right for sure Axel.
I just finished watching the series. Thanks for all the info. What lube did you use before you put it back together?
Just a light layer of motor oil.
Gona add a 4 or 5inch machine handle on my opposite side of the handle for easier up stroke to change tools out. Think ill pin it so if needed to clean just pull pin n replace.
Nice modifications, why mess with orins to hold the punches on just get a couple of spare handles off ebay only cost a few dollars and turn the handles down to fit the arbor. for the little one sleeve it up to fit the arbor. don't forget to use the domed out anvil under the snap caps as well as the rivets
Sounds like you have a cold. I hope you feel better soon.
Feel better Frank thank you my friend.
Kevin, would you please tell me what the throat distance is on this arbor with the ram raised all the way up and the base plate removed? I need one that will allow at least 8” clearance for a particular use, but it doesn’t have to be super heavy duty, so I don’t want to have to buy a 2-ton or larger.
5 to 6 inchs thank you for the comment Diane.
Why not remove equal material behind the teeth you want remove so you can still skip without losing any press height?!?
PS great video!!! Thanks!
May work thanks for the comment.
Kevin Robinson, are both ends of the ram the same?
I think so.
I left the retaining collar off so I could move the handle to a better position. I'm going to grind the first 2 teeth off and put the collar back On! Mo betta!
Thanks for the comment Gary.
I'm helping a friend set up a machine like this, but all your work was completely unnecessary if you're using this machine for only one particular job. If you are doing many different kind of thicknesses of jobs I could see doing this, but all you need to do is remove the pinion shaft and handle and rotate it to the position you want for maximum tension on your part and reinsert it into the arbor in it's new position. No machining necessary. I was shocked at the lack of clean up done when they manufactured these!
thanks for watching
...when you buy stuff from Harbor Freight, for some reason they don't take the time to clean up the metal and stuff... Yeah, dude, the reason is price. That's why everything there is so cheap. Think of HF as a place to buy an arbor kit.
Thanks for watching
I like that WD-40 good for wasp nest to👍😎
Instead of grinding the teeth off you could grind the flat part of the shaft so you still have full stroke
Thanks for the comment Brad.

said "Instead of grinding the teeth off you could grind the flat part of the shaft so you still have full stroke" What do you think Mr. Robinson, would that work?
@@TicketTim I'm not sure the rod would go up far enough to skip.
I think that these presses were manufactured in a cave in China. I would love to hear a comment on this machine's lack of mechanical advantage with the lever arm provided. This is basically a rack and pinion arrangement.
Thanks for the comment Dennis.
Why would it make any difference where they were manufactured in China? Their still from China. Also they only cost at the time of this video 40 bucks! What can you produce equal to this press for 40 bucks and make money? Also if you cannot figure out how to manipulate the force bar then you should probably refrain from your mechanical adventures! Ever heard of a cheater? It's a pipe, a length of your choosing, which is slipped over the force bar to enable more force to be applied. Usually called a force multiplyer. 😚😁
OK, at 10:58 you are 'scrubbing' back and forth with the file. A file only cuts in ONE direction - when you scrub it back and forth, you are dulling the teeth on the back stroke, and ruining the file. There are a couple of good filing videos on You Tube that are worth watching.
Thanks for watching Paul.
Instead of cutting the teeth, why not cut above them?
It may work out not sure
Typical Chinessium, rushed to make it, dirty as hell and usually never symmetrical-parrell machining
