If a key way broach starts to bind and bend, you want to know it before it snaps in half. By the time you feel the resistance in a hydraulic press it will be too late.



I just used my arbor press a few weeks ago to change the bearings on an electric motor.

Willie,

How is the broach held by the arbor press?
