Bought one of these the other day to do bearings on my 4 wheelers:



Works great, but it only came with one "attachment", if that is what you call it. I am talking about the piece that secures to the press with a set screw and actually comes in contact with what you are pressing. I am looking for a kit that would have different diameter "attachments". The press is a Torin brand from Northerntool. I checked Torin's and Northern's websites and didn't see what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a machine shop at work any more, or else I could have made what I need

Thanks,

best thing I know to tell you is build your own.

some round bar welded to plates to bolt to your press.

 

That's what I was thinking, DIY is going to be my next step. Find some scrap rod that fits the collet of the press and then get some plate and cut different diameter presses.

Old bearing races, broken sockets, pieces of pipe, and flatsteel plates litter my press area! I never throw anything away!

 

be careful with that thing dad had a 30 tonner with a 20 or 25 ton jack and he bent the press.

 

That's what I'm using now: "floor stock"

That is either the mark of genius or of a slob.

I dont know which yet, but I have quite a collection of junk like that myself.

 

I prefer my "buddies" 3/4 drive snap on sockets he leaves laying around.....

 

Making use of the lifetime warranty!?

 

If you want to know anything about a shop press PM DieselDork. He's got a MEAN homemade shop press with a fully hydraulic table and he made all of his own attachments.
