I have three hydraulic shop presses, but for many small jobs my arbor
press is much faster and more convenient.  I easily use the arbor press
hundreds of times more often than all the hydraulic presses combined.

I tend to use the milling vise as a light duty press because alignment on parallels etc is easier. The handle force isn't excessive for 1000 Lbs of clamping pressure.

Did I mentioned I have a 6 ton (supposedly) arbor press.

CNC Molds N Stuff
-----------------------------------------
My equipment is meant for the relatively light work typical of electronics and consists of machines appropriate to industrial model, tool makers or prototyping shops, i.e. in the space between hobby and production where I operated. An ad for the Heavy 10 lathe recommends it for short production, tool-room and maintenance. The collection would have been an inventor's dream in the 1960s when it was all new and tight, now it shows its 60+ year age.
It is NOT money-making production machinery which is why it was available and affordable. It's probably too small for practical ore processing projects, the machines I've made with it challenged its capacity. Segway had a 15" lathe and 12x48(?) Bridgeport, both CNC, which accommodated larger projects. Both were more awkward to use than my machines for my usually cut-and-try small parts and off-sized repairs.
