Would anyone happen to have an arbor press for sale?

Try a WTB in the EE.

KMS Tools.

Places like that. They are cheap enough that buying a used one is kind of a waste of time.

What are you thinking of doing with it?

We have one at work but I have never seen it used. Is there a way of modifying it to make a reloading press that has an advantage over the regular pupose built presses?

I'm building a 6.5 then a 6mm at a later date but since I have to buy more dies I'm planning on buying Wilson. Their dies require an Arbor press. Most benchrest shooters that reload at matches use this system as they are compact and easy to pack. They also mount a dial indicator to make things more precise. Once I get my Wilson dies I'll have a better idea if a "commercial" press would do the job properly but I suspect they would lack the "feel". I suspect I'll be buying a Harrel's or K&M.

Thanks Cy, I'm better at reloading than I am at posting pics.
