Restoring this Dake Model X Arbor press was an absolute pleasure! This little 1 ton press is an absolute beast!! The design has not changed since Dake started manufacturing these presses in the 1940's, that's how good the design has been!
This one has stood the test of time! I believe that this one was manufactured in 1955, but I am still not positive on that. No matter the exact date, it predates having a serial number on the front plate. Also there is NO wear on the ram or the spindle! Either well built or never used! One look at it and I know which one I'd lean towards!
This small but mighty arbor press is the smaller brother to my 12 ton Dake arbor press. In my shop, they both have their uses!
