Our take on the Mead AP-600PX4 Arbor Press

The Mead AP-600PX4 is a pneumatic arbor press rated at 1-3/4 tons, with a 1-3/8-inch ram and a 7-3/4-inch throat depth. It uses a single-acting spring-return mechanism, so the ram returns on its own after each stroke, which speeds up repetitive pressing, broaching and bearing work. At about 10 pounds it is light enough to move between benches. No current store price was provided, so check the price history before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the Mead AP-600PX4 worth it?: It suits light, repetitive pressing where shop air is available. Compare its price against manual 2-ton arbor presses if you only press occasionally.
How much force does it deliver?: It is rated at 1-3/4 tons of ram force. That covers bearings, bushings and small broaching, not heavy press fits.
What air supply does it need?: It is pneumatic, so it needs a compressed air line. Match your regulator and hose to the press's inlet and working pressure before use.
How big a part fits in it?: The throat depth is 7-3/4 inches and the ram is 1-3/8 inches in diameter. Measure your workpiece against the throat before buying.
Does the ram return by itself?: Yes. It has a single-acting spring-return mechanism, so the ram retracts after each stroke.
When is the best time to buy?: Watch the price history and buy when it dips below its recent range. No current store price was available to compare.
