Arbor_press_plate_00.txt

Here is an arbor press plate system I devised as a gift for my Dad on Father’s Day.  I 
wanted him to have something else nobody else had, plus useful as well.

The baseplate is 6” diameter, 1” thick, with a machined recess in it.

The recess is designed to accept pieces of 2.5” cold rolled stock, with a shoulder/undercut 
machined.

Each hole is 1/64” oversize of nominal, for pressing OUT pins, shafts, etc..  I  plan a 
system of these to include bores up to 1”, this should be sufficient for his purposes, 
although one could go right up to 2” nominal, that would be a plate without a shoulder.

Oh yes, the scraping marks.  For looks only.  Nothing to do with accuracy.  Remember, 
it’s an arbor press 8-)
