Got this Dake arbor press today for 10 bucks. Needs a bath and a daisy wheel. Guess I could use it for smashing something LOL. And I bet you buying a 4" steel disc to make the daisy wheel will cost more than what I paid for the press!

Yup. A 4" disc of mild steel, 1.5" thick will run you about $30 give or take. Far more expensive than the arbor press!

For ten bucks that's a nice score! Looking at yours I think we have twins.. and both missing the round plate. LOL
Forget where I got mine but it lives on top of the 10 ton hydraulic one to do quick little jobs that don't require fussing.
