Our take on the Palmgren 1/2 Ton Arbor Press

The Palmgren 1/2 Ton Arbor Press is a manual lever press with a cast-iron frame and a machined steel anvil, built for light shop work like pressing bearings, punching, riveting and bending. Its 4-inch maximum stock height and 6-1/2-inch swing set the size of parts it can handle, and the 3/4-inch ram takes standard tooling. At 11 lbs it is small enough to sit on a bench, and the base is pre-drilled for mounting. The best new price is $78.78 at MRO Supply as of November 6, 2026, with 4 stores selling it new.

Pros
  • Cast-iron frame and base give a rigid, stable press
  • Machined steel anvil table is flat and true for accurate work
  • Pre-drilled base mounts to a bench or pedestal
  • 3/4-inch ram accepts common arbor press tooling
  • Light 11 lb body is easy to move and store
  • Manual lever gives fine control over pressing force
Cons
  • 0.5 ton is light for stubborn bearings and heavy press fits
  • 4-inch maximum stock height limits taller workpieces
  • No ratchet or compound lever, so force comes only from arm strength
  • Small 4 x 8 inch table area restricts larger parts

Questions and answers

What can a 1/2 ton arbor press handle?
It suits light work: pressing small bearings and bushings, punching, riveting, bending and squeezing. It is not meant for heavy press fits or parts that need more than 0.5 ton of force.
How much room is there under the ram?
The maximum stock height is 4 inches, and the working area runs from 0 to 4.000 inches. Parts taller than that will not fit between the ram and the anvil.
Does it need to be bolted down?
The cast-iron base is pre-drilled for mounting on a bench or pedestal. Bolting it down keeps the press steady when you pull the lever hard.
What size tooling fits the ram?
The ram is 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch, so standard 3/4-inch arbor press tooling and accessories fit. The swing is 6-1/2 inches.
Is $78.78 a good price for this press?
That is the best new price among 4 stores as of November 6, 2026, at MRO Supply. Compare it against the other stores' listings before buying.
How big and heavy is it?
It measures about 12 inches deep, 10.75 inches high and 8.75 inches wide, and weighs 11 lbs. The table is 4 x 8 inches.
