This little gem was offered to me last week. I couldn't turn it down since I need one !! Besides the price was ridiculous... ZERO !!! I really like those prices !! The only thing I can see wrong with it is no hole through the base. Even though it's really not an issue...I could make plates to fit whatever I needed to press out or in. It just was unusual to see no cut out. But I'm still tickled it has a new home...mine !! :)

Nice, were they giving away any others? I have been looking for one of those myself.

Mike ... unfortunately it was the only one. Glad it made my way !

It does seem odd that there is no hole in the base, but hey...the price was right. You can always drill your own hole :D

Nice Score!
I have a baby Dake on my bench at work (about the same size as yours) and it doesn't have a hole either. It is very handy and we have a larger one in the shop so the lack of a hole isn't much of a problem.
You will enjoy it.

If you need a hole or two...you can find them in my thread. :lolb:

Yeah but Zee's holes are very fuzzy...especially the latest ones :)

That's a lie. The holes are crisp and perfectly round. Camera just doesn't do them justice. ;D

Camera worked fine on the family shots though didn't it :) Sorry V, its all Zee's fault :lolb: Nice find on the press BTW!!

My 4 year old grandson said they were there after he asked what I was looking at !!! He's got a great imagination !!!

OK Newby question here................what do you use it for? Looks like some sort of press.
I need to know................. so I'll know whether to be jealous or not that I don't have one of my own. :shrug:

I've been thinking of getting one myself.
All I know about them is they're handy to press things like bearings into bearing blocks.
Better control and more power than trying to use an old drill press. :-[
