My todo list includes a bunch of jobs that involve pins. It occurs to me that me and a press would do a better job than me and a mallet. But, how much press do I need? 1 ton, 2 ton?
Thanks for the help, guys. Looks like goin' with a real press is the way to go. Retirement's not that far out, and the aforementioned toys is something I've wanted to do.... quite handy if you ever get into the Kalashnikov patterned toys/kits.
okay, I'll throw this out there - the knowledge is deep and wide here.
I'm looking to make j-word jackets from pre-82 pennies. After annealing, what level of arbor press to draw the pennies into jackets?

I have a 12 ton from Harbor Freight and while it hasn't been used a ton (pun intended), It is still going strong after 14 years. Cheap and effective. I pressed out all of the bearings and suspension bushings on two cars and have done other less stressful things with it.
