    Default Arboga lever press

    Was visiting a workshop today and spotted an Arboga mill in the corner, the owner tells me it's used as a "Lever press" for seating bearings and the previous owner used it for that as well.

    No wonder we keep as many machines as we can in Vic!

    That's a very extravagant "Lever press"! ... But it's better than letting it rust away somewhere.

    Does it still work as a Mill? (electrics)

    Default Arboga, your lucky day

    Graz.

    Snap it up now, offer to replace it with a "proper press".

    Where these machines turn up, amazes me. I only acquired mine by sheer luck.

    Hi Graziano,

    Ha!... nice one, do you reckon he'd swap it for a nice little arbor press on a pedestal?

    Regards

    The current owner has some sentimental attachment to the machine, also he has been pestered by a very annoying person over it for a long period of time. In short it's not going anywhere soon. It's apparently fully functional.
