  • Our take on the Jet AP3-M Arbor Press 3 Ton

    The Jet AP3-M is a 3-ton manual arbor press for bearings, bushings, pins and broaching work in a home or small shop. Its 12.6-inch ram travel and 11-1/2-inch capacity over the table give more working room than most 1- and 2-ton presses, and the 108-pound cast frame stays put under load. It is a hand-operated press, so it suits light-to-medium jobs rather than production pressing or heavy broaching. Compared with cheaper import presses, the Jet name and build are the draw; expect to pay more for the same tonnage.

    Questions and answers

    What jobs is a 3-ton arbor press good for?
    Pressing bearings, bushings and pins, staking, and light broaching. It is not meant for heavy production pressing or large keyway broaching.
    How much force does 3 tons give?
    Roughly 6,000 pounds at the ram. That covers most small bearing and bushing work, but stubborn jobs may need a hydraulic press.
    Does it need to be bolted down?
    At 108 pounds it is stable on a bench, but bolting it down is wise for heavy lever pulls. Plan for a sturdy bench or stand.
    What is the ram bore for?
    The 1/2-inch bore lets you fit tooling such as press plates and broach bushings into the ram.
    How does it compare with a 1- or 2-ton press?
    More tonnage, a longer 12.6-inch ram travel and more room over the table. It is larger and heavier, so check bench space first.
    Where is the Jet AP3-M Arbor Press 3 Ton cheapest?
    At JB Tools, for $449.00, as of our latest check.
