Now that I have an arbor press, I am wondering what I can do with
it. The obvious use is "pressing bearings and gears", which is not
what I do that often.
I saw a web page that had a great idea that an arbor press can provide
an ability to apply letter and number stamps very nicely. This is
definitely wonderful.
Another good use would probably to have a little brake for small metal
pieces, or a bender, that would be press operated. Do such things
exist?
Anything else?

I use mine a lot for pressing in flush PEM sheet metal fasteners. Made
the die from a bit of 4140 steel, didn't bother heat treating it.

PEM nuts or standoffs/spacers. You drill a hole and press the nut
into aluminum. There are several styles, all made by PEM. I would give
you a link, but every time I try to do a Google search I get a screen to
type in some BS code.

Thanks.. here's a link:-

McMaster sells some, but I think they are knock-offs.
