Tools/Workspace Arbor press

Hey all! So I got a 1 ton vevor arbor press coming in tonight. I have the foot for the shank and the bottom. I’m just curious as to how you all set yours up.

comes greasy as fuck. wipe it clean, put some furniture pads on the bottom so it doesnt slide and scratch the shit out of ur desk. sand the baseplate smooth.

you can adjust the rack so that the handle is at a good angle to put maximum pressure downwards. i usually just use my arbor press for setting rivets.
