Customer Reviews for VEVOR Arbor Press, 0.5 Ton Manual Arbor Press, 11.68" Maximum Height, Cast Iron Heavy-duty Manual Desktop Arbor Press, Precision Hand Press for Stamping, Bending, Stretching, Forming

It is a nice arbor press. It feels solid, and hardly any play. I would have given the 5 stars except it came without the bolt to hold the arm in place. They said they could not send me that simple little part only do a refund. I need the press so I will have to find a bolt that fits myself.

Ich nutze die Dornpresse zum bundieren von Gitarren-Griffbrettern. Die gängigen Einsätze kann man einfach montieren und die Presse macht diesen Job sehr gut ☺️

Low precision but good value. The pinion retaining washer was missing, but I had a suitable replacement. The whole thing arrived slathered in grease that needed a good clean up before handling. Packing was excellent, a plywood box inside the cardboard box. Rack tolerances needed significant adjustment, as per the very minimal manual. Secure bolting down or mounting to a clamping board is essential as it will tip forward under pressure. This will be used a dedicated fret press for luthiery and is a quarter the price of the equivalent from StewMac!

The ram that came with it had an off-center hole and it was a bit painful getting a replacement – had to send pictures multiple times, describe the issue, start over, repeat, etc. – but eventually they sent me a replacement part. Since then, this press has been fantastic and I highly recommend it. I deducted one star for having to wait over a month, but in the end they did the right thing and shipped a replacement ram. The product itself is great and I recommend it, the size is right for my shop and it's super durable – easy to put together and really heavy, high-quality materials. I use mine for pressing frets into guitar fret boards and it works great for that.

So this thing is clunky but it does what it’s supposed to. It’s not super smooth but is more of like a vice. For stamping it’s good but it’s a one stamp at a time.

Works great for cutting dies, and working with leather wallets!!!

Pretty good dose the job for me

Solid design and functionality but weighs a bloody ton! Hubby loved it but it requires adjustments to use.

Pros: Very strong arbor press for the price. Good capacity and features for an entry level price. Nice to see they included 3 different points to get you started and you can make some more out of bolts from the hardware store. Cons: The horizontal shaft for the handle has too much play and slop for my tastes. The retaining screw for the handle is annoying as you would need to keep a wrench handy to adjust the handle. (I replaced it with a thumb screw). Summary: Overall and excellent buy for the money and the slop can be ignored without regrets at this price point and unless you are going to be using it every single day, it should last several generations.

Would have been better had to handle have been a little bit longer or at least be able to have an extension I use it with a die so that I can press cubes of my favourite herbs. It really presses good and works well with Keith Keith KEIF.
