A workshop press applies controlled force to press bearings and bushings, straighten parts and bend metal. Choose by tonnage, the working width and height of the frame, and whether you want manual, air or electric power.
Pick the tonnage for your heaviest job; bearing and bushing work needs less force than straightening heavy truck parts.
Check the frame's working width and height so your parts and fixtures fit.
Electric and air-assisted presses save effort in high-volume shops; manual presses suit occasional use.
Choose tonnage for the heaviest pressing or straightening job you do, and make sure the frame opening fits your largest parts.
Manual presses are simple and affordable for occasional work; electric and air-assisted presses are faster and easier for daily, high-volume use.
