any industrial tool supplier should stock them, you could try any tool store that has metalworking gear (may be chinese from those places though)... you should have a thomas skinner out in alberta....acklands grainger (im not a fan of them)...KBC tools,...you can always get a POS one from Princess Auto...
I suspect you are questioning about an arbor press for reloading. Look at Sinclair's or Midway. They have the presses as well as the Wilson dies and sized neck collars you will need.
I don't know how much you know about using an arbor press for reloading. They don't use regular dies from RCBS or Hornady.
They are designed for bench rest shooters that hand load at the range. They usually have specially turned collars to match the neck diameter you require for your chamber. Then, you have to turn the necks to the proper thickness for the proper proportions between the diameter of the bullet and the chamber neck area. Usually about .001 all the way around.
I guess you could use the system for hunting rounds but it really isn't suitable.

Since this is a reloading forum, I would think the OP is looking for something like this http://www.sinclairintl.com/reloadi...e-presses/sinclair-arbor-press-prod37764.aspx
And NOT looking for something like this http://www.kingcanada.com/Products.htm?CD=203&ID=631

Yes I am looking for a RELOADING Arbour press. Hence the reloading forum 
Im hoping to get one (unsure which) and use Wilson Dies for loading at the bench. Im only going to use it for target rounds, not hunting.
I noticed that the reviews on Sinclair were almost all negative for the Sinclair branded one, so I'll probably stay away from that one!

Any small press would work, what to look for is the opening hight.

I have one from Sinclair's and have no issues with it at all.
The Acklands Grainger presses are way to big and are not square to base. They are fine for pressing out or in bearings or studs but not for reloading cartridges.
