Arbor press
A video tutorial on the setup and the many uses of the Bender Press is available as an online link. Printed on the insert inside of your Bender kit box, you will find instructions and the password for accessing this tutorial.
PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEO INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO SET UP AND USE THE BENDER PRESS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO BEND ANYTHING! This video contains very important information on how to set up your arbor press for bending. Failing to follow instructions can lead to damage to the parts and injury to the user.
IMPORTANT NOTE !!!
You need a 1-ton arbor press with a 1″ arbor ram for our Flatwearable Bender 3D parts to attach to. Please read our statement below on obtaining a 1-ton arbor press. Busy Bee in Canada also carries this press. An arbor press of any size other than a 1 ton with a 1″ ram will not allow you to use our components. Altering the parts in an effort to force them to work with any other size arbor press will void your warranty.
It has been brought to our attention that a Dayton model arbor press was not compatible with our press gear bar.
Because the arbor press is a foreign-made cast metal piece, size tolerances will vary. If your new FB3D ram bar doesn’t fit, you will need to use a large file to remove some of the metal in the slot that the ram fits into.
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ!!
You have purchased a Flatwearable Bender or are considering one. Have you been looking for a 1-ton arbor press and can't find one?
Harbor Freight stores (with a few exceptions for remote stores/locations) have been out of 1-ton arbor presses for a while now. Customers are having to resort to finding suitable substitutes, and we are seeing an uptick in complaints that our bar doesn’t fit. We ordered an “el cheapo” VEVOR press to see what might be going on. The bar slot was rough and thick with powder coating. I filed down the bar opening, and now the bar fits. The casting itself (the body of the press) is poor, and the press isn’t nearly as beefy or sturdy as our other ones.
We are here to help you find one.
This press on Amazon is identical to the HF one. BE SURE YOU ARE PURCHASING THE 1-TON MODEL, AS THERE ARE DIFFERENT ONES.
Because the arbor press is a foreign-made cast metal piece, size tolerances will vary. If your new FB3D ram bar doesn’t fit, you will need to use a large file to remove some of the metal in the slot that the ram fits into.
