Re: Arbor Press is a Must Have
I've got one of those little 1-ton Dake presses and it's not worth diddly! Don't know if it'd actually flatten a pan bottom without a 4' cheater bar and a whole lot of cussing!!

Forgot about the pot being on the stove
Boiled it dry
K'kins got home, and took one look, and it was out to the shop. The pot no longer was able to sit flat on the burner grate because the heat had warped the bottom, and bowed it. She decided this was unacceptable, this bein' a nice Revere Ware pot.

Gently "bumped" it back to shape, and all's good again. I got to sleep in the house

Re: Arbor Press is a Must Have
The new pick is a much better arbor press. The ratcheting mechanism is a nice upgrade.

Miller 330 A/BP
Miller CP-200 Haas / Kamp'd / CP-300 in process
Miller Radiator 1
Miller 30A /S-52E feeders

I had one several years ago & I made the mistake of selling it.
I recently picked up another one & this time it's staying here.
It needs a good cleaning & a new paint job! But I got it cheap due to it's condition & it needed the arm repaired.

Re: Arbor Press is a Must Have
I'd prefer a ratchet setup too.
