I have just finished watching your whole series of modification for the HF Arbor Press. I have really enjoyed watching them and I've learned a lot of things I can do with my press. I really appreciate you recording and posting all the procedures that you did so other people can benefit from your ideas and efforts.
Thank you Shirley, i'm glad you enjoyed it.
Just watched all of your arbor press videos. I appreciate how thorough they were on each step. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Joshua i appreciate you watching.
Nice collection of modifications and videos. Thank you
Thank you for the comment and watching
What a really great idea with the chuck. I can use different sized stamps for leather work or punches, etc. Thanks for the education.
Your welcome
thanks for the good info.
Thanks bud good video
People this man had the good and great idea to put this vídeos for us.
Don’t forget to click that like button.
So he and many others like him get rewarded for putting a lot of effort to make an excellent and very helpful video available to us.
Thank you sir I work on composites and I use hollow punches to cut round pieces of material. I was using a hammer and a hollow punch and man is a very time consuming thing to do.
So I got some drill hollow punches and the arbor press at harbor freight and I follow your video to be able to put the punch and wow
No more waste of time and energy.
Thanks a lot!!
Keep up with the excellent work and keep posting amazing videos.
I thank you for the comment It feels good when I can help someone thank you for watching.
As long as the threads are clean only 1 drop of locktite is needed.
Thanks for the info.
I bought a 2 ton press. I bolted an 8 X 13 inch piece of 3/8 inch steel plate on as the table. I wanted to be able to clamp tooling and jigs on. Wanted to thank you for the tooth removal trick as well as the idea to make an attachable drill chuck. The chuck I used is from an old bit brace which is an option if you don't mind wrecking one. Cheers.
Thanks for the comment and info.
A sewing machine needle might work well in the drill chuck because it has a larger square base for the chuck to grab onto. The heavy duty needles would work as awls. Thanks for the video.
Great tip!
Thank you. Frome saudi
awesome mod ❤
Thank you.
Well done
Thank you Robin.
Love the drill chuck idea. Perfect for wad punches. The extra dedicated tables are really the way to go for sure.
Love your videos my friend I just subscribed to your channel.
I see that ! Thanks a bunch Kevin. You come up with a bunch of neat stuff fella. Have a great weekend fella. A bigger table, 12 to 16 in wide and 6 to 8 in deep will be really handy for leather and other projects as well.
I just watched the whole series. You should at them all together in a playlist like you mentioned.
I couldn't find it in your playlist section. Thx for the videos.
It's under Arbor press.
@@Robinson-Homestead You might have that set as a private playlist. All I see is:
>railroad spike art
>Chef Cutlery build
>log splitter engine swap
>magnet fishing
>firewood
>grand canyon camping trip
>new baby goats
>cast iron skillet restore and seasoning
>farmall super tractor
>honda generator
>wild ramps
>garrett at pro hunts
If I'm lucky I'll get a 2 ton one tomorrow.
Btw...have you seen the guy that is leather stamping by attaching a strong magnet?
I'd add some form to hold it in place but other than that I like it over the small screw.
Thank you
Thank you for watching
I really like the idea of using the chuck. I probably have 6-8 old drills around with 3/8" chucks, let me know if I can send you one. Another modification I would make is to wind a torsion spring and put on the shaft to keep the arbor up out of the way and from falling. You can use music wire for the spring. I have lots of .069 wire left over from a project that I can send you.
Thanks I will see what I do about a spring good idea but not sure that it would work Ron.
I'm not sure you can call that a Harbor Freight press anymore. Those are some pretty high-end mods you keep making.
I got a couple thoughts. I'm wondering if you could get some 1/4" plate and make another table to be used with the chuck.
That would buy you another 1/5". Not sure if that would be too thin. My other thought was I bet you could make your own awl that would fit that chuck.
Thanks for the vids.
I think that would work just fine.
damn.. i love tinkerers
Thanks Ron.
Watched another post where instead of lead a guy wound copper wire around the threads to protect them when chucking them up.
Kevin, just wondering if you found a 3/8" chuck. I think I have several if you would like one let me know.
Good video, but I wonder what it that press would do if it wasn't mounted to a balsa wood bench ;)
Maybe not as good but would work.
Awesome, unfortunately I cant drill inti the metal. I lack the tools and experience. Ive resorted to using a magnet. Im going to see if I can use a strong neodymium magnet to hold the chuck and leather chisel in place. Hoping it works!
Good luck you will get it maybe you can find someone to help you Jeremy.
I 7se a magnet, works great
but pin vice add in chuck done 12:40
what about a tap follower to make straight holes too
Thanks for the idea.
Make a plate out of 1/4
' steel to give you more clearance with the big chuck.
You have some good ideas thank you.
Per previous comment. I recall as a kid my grandfather had a hand full of adaptors he could place a piece of leather or even a beer bottle cap and with a little pressure he could cut out circles, squares and even stars. I've searched and the nearest I could find was a seperate disc cutter for $140. Was hoping to find an oldtimer that can refer me to find some old press cutters for a project I'm thinking about doing. Any ideas or suggestions on where to look for these would appreciated.
How about Tandy Leather not sure.
Love it
What size set screw did you use and what tap and drill size
I think it was a 1/4 inch sorry it's been a long time ago.
What kind of lathe are you using? Thanks and God-bless have a great night
Harbor Freight
I would wait and find a smaller chuck that was shorter so you had more working space for punches and other things to fit your press.
Good info thanks.
So just for your info..a 1/4" bolt with an unthreaded shank can be used for the post by drilling the hole with a 7/32" drill bit most of the way through the plastic. It will thread itself in, then you just cut the head off the bolt.
I also bought a 1 foot square of HDPE to make the table out of. I made the table to fit the base with a little overhang. Then installed my post so it was tight against the back so it doesn't move. Then I made a round one and epoxed my Tandy rivet anvil's into recesses I drilled into the plastic so I don't have to keep up with all the different anvil's for snaps, rivets, and brads.
Good info thanks
good info thanks for watching.
Great series, and I'm not even a leather worker. Hey, quick question, whats the name of your 90 degree center marking square? That thing is awesome! I'd bet it works for circles too?
Thanks for sharing all your mods and ideas.
I have new blades since i don't have any way to sharpen them yet.
No, you used a 90° angle with a ruler deal coming out on a 45°
I'm curious as to what that is called. I'll re-watch the video for a time mark where you used it, but you used it to find the center point. That thing looks awesome, and I definitely want to add one to my tool collection!
At 3:32 you pick it up, to mark the center of the plastic square you cut for the bottom plate.
Buy yourself a combination square. It has what you need for marking centers, various angles, etc.
?? Are there adaptors that can be used when using a standard arbor press, to cutout stars, using beer bottle caps? I keep finding press kits for +$140. Just looking for something sturdy enough to cut out stars. My grandfather had an old kit. Its been lost
What are you cutting wood metal or is it the caps you are cutting You may need a bigger press not sure on that one.
@@Robinson-Homestead - I don't think he's cutting into the metal bottle caps. I think he's using the bottle cap as a punch (like a cookie cuter) to cut pieces of that shape (and others) in traditional materials like leather paper, cloth, cork, and perhaps a thin piece of wood (like a veneer).
A dremel chuck goes really small
Thanks for the idea.
could this be modified to use a dapping block set to dome metal. Silver Coins?
I would thank so.
