Uses for an arbor press

[UncleBillyKnives]

I bought a 1/2 ton arbor press thanksgiving day at Harbor Freight. (I had a 25% off coupon) I will use it to set the eyelets for Kydex sheaths. (Order coming your way soon Boss)
When I got to work on Monday, guess what was waiting at my desk? Yep, another ½ ton arbor press. A buddy at work picked me up one for a knife I am making for him. I lost the receipt for mine so I cannot take it back, so now I have two. What other knife making uses can it be used for? I have seen tang stamps mounted to the end of one.
Can they be use to smash pins into the guard? I have seen bottle jacks used for this?

What other uses does it have for knife making?

If you can't find another use for the second one, maybe they'll let you trade it.

If you have a leather stamp.....it works well for that as well. Larry

I use my arbor press when I form Kydex. The kids crush aluminum cans with it.
