Members Sturme Posted September 25, 2019 Members Report Posted September 25, 2019 I have a arbor press from harbor freight, took it to a machine shop here in town and had a hole with a locking screw drilled into it. bought a half inch drill chuck off amazon, use tandy snap setters. can do kydex with it if i wanted also. drilling it out turned it into the most versatile machine i have in my shop. so from holes, to snaps to stamps it does it all. there are numerous videos on youtube for modifications for leather working with an arbor press, before you buy a snap setter you should check them out.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
Members Sturme Posted September 25, 2019 Members Report Posted September 25, 2019 sure is, i would recommend a bit longer handle for it. Quote
