In this post, we will help our readers in understanding everything they must know about an arbor press or otherwise known as a pneumatic press. So, let’s move forward and answer some of the most common questions about the presses.
What Is An Arbor Press?
In simple words, it is a small hand press which uses gearing to multiply leverage. These presses are often used for multiple purposes such as for fitting bearings, tool work, punching holes, and cutting fine detail jewelry works.
What Are Some Of The Common Uses Of A Pneumatic Press?
These presses are mostly employed in works that involve the application of a slow, steady pressure on an item or a specific area of the object. The presses are most commonly employed by:
1) Leatherworkers- Leatherworkers use presses for cutting out shapes or patterns using the cutting dyes that work pretty much in the same way as a cookie-cutter.
2) Metalworkers- Metalworkers often use presses for the purpose of bending metals into all types of shapes using jigs and formers that perform different types of repetitive tasks such as punching holes.
What Are The Types Of Presses?
Single Lever Press- The single level press has the lowest number of moving parts which makes them both easy to use and extremely efficient.
Ratchet Press- The ratchet presses have a handle that always helps in applying constant pressure. These presses are the easiest to work as they have a ratcheting mechanism on a cog spindle.
At first glance, the usefulness of a press might seem doubtful in hobby room or home workshop. However, once you start using these presses you will likely never be without one.
