Its getting there. I was hoping to get it running again tonight, but need to make a trip to the hardware store for some misc lectrical parts. Maybe tomorrow.
Looks like you made a GREAT stop in and found a machine that you wanted in your own shop, what a well timed trip to buy a couple of lathes, nice to see. Wow your arbor press looks like it (the hand wheel) is off the S.S. Minnow, cool. Lance & Patrick.
It looks like you did a good job of straightening the handle . If you decide you want to replace it I have 2 of them I received in some tooling I would be willing to make a even swap if you want it. Just let me know if you want one of the ones I have.
Looks like your new Bridgey is in pretty decent shape, and appreciate you showing us your arbor straightening method (have seen this on hydraulic presses, but not on an arbor press). Will you be keeping your P&W horizontal mill?
