1 Ton Arbor Press ~ RESTORATION
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- 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!

LOTS TO COME!
QUESTION FOR YOU: What do you enjoy about restoration videos?
Thanks for watching, I truly appreciate it! Be sure to hit subscribe if you're new and let me know if you like the videos! Have a great one!
I find most arts&crafts videos very soothing. I especially like the disassembly, where I can see the inner workings of various tools and machines. Also the comparison shots, especially when before and after are in the same frame.
My favorite restoration videos are about old hand tools, especially if they're obsolete. Or if I see some household appliance only held together by crud being cleaned up and restored to perfection.
I hate PAMP (Paint Across Moving Parts). I think about it chipping soon and it's frustrating.
I love watching the rust dirt and grime removals but the whole process is fascinating
You may find this weird, but I watch them on my phone to go to sleep at night. I know, weird! But, the well-done ones are SO relaxing for some reason. I just get mesmerized by them and slip away...only to re-watch them again and again. Thanks for helping this old Gulf War vet get some sound sleep. These videos plus my new meds are helping alleviate bad nights due to PTSD.
I like seeing all the different machine's and devises I haven't seen and the way other people handle fixing them.
@@jedidaddychris thank you for your service! I feel/do the same thing it's therapeutic, I'm busted up and off work so it helps clear my head of life's issues.
I like every step of restorations. I find them educational, relaxing, and fun. Since I was a 9 year-old girl (many, many moons ago), I liked to take things apart, clean them, and make minor repairs. I became a master at disassembling and cleaning all sorts of items with little to no tools. The reassembly of bigger items with more than ten parts, including screws, was not so master-like. To be honest, I was pitiful in reassembling large items. That is one reason I like to watch people who know what the hell they are doing. You, dear sir, are a master.
Thank you!! I truly appreciate it! Honestly, I'm just a guy that only knows enough to be dangerous! Thanks for watching and commenting, it means a lot!
Hey. Am an old man in the meantime. I enjoy all kinds of machinerie. Your Vids help me killing time. Enjoy it a lot. You are afraid of nothing. Too heavy, too complicatet, too rusty, too old no spareparts. you just go ahead and do it. At the dismanteling i could help probably but put everything together again so that it works in the end ? Honestly i admire that. I am a precision mechanic - big difference -- can repair Cameras and Microscopes. But what you´re doing is amazing. Regards from Germany. Klaus
I would almost buy those tools just because they look like works of art when you are finished with them. This has gotten to be one of my favorite sites.
I think you are the Master of Restauration
How I miss that one🙄.. You are so skilful with the grinding and sanding tools! You make this tool look better like it was as brand new! Thanks for sharing! Great job!
Not sure, but i enjoy what can be done with a grinder!
That was an impressive transformation! I would love to see a workshop tour! From the tiny glimpses you have shown us, it looks totally epic!!!
Thank you! It's definitely a fun place to work! Once there is enough interest, MAYBE I'll do a tour! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Lot's more to come!
Great restoration. Your pre-paint taping reminds me of many projects I took on. Relaxing to watch you work.
So now you have a matching set, the BIG Dake and the little Dake.
So that's what the baby anvils are for. I've just been hammering on it. I'm never too old to learn something new.
I'm sure it could be used for all kinds of things!
The press restore was great....the little Dake I.D. tag...icing on the cake! Thanks, keep em coming!
Ya that came out looking pretty sharp!! I LOVE old tool ID badges, especially brass & copper ones! They just don't make em like they used to! New video every Saturday! Thanks for watching & commenting! I truly appreciate it!
Honestly dake does. Compare this to the modern mini presses on their website.
See that basket he uses for the rust removal container? I was thinking that when I get my workshop soon I'll make a basket like that if I start doing restorations I work mostly in wood) and I couldn't figure out why I hadn't seen anyone who does a lot of restorations with a basket like that. Glad to see he is using one. This guy is smart.
Grand Haven is about 30 miles up the shore of Lake Michigan from me. Really neat to see a tool from there being restored!
Looks really nice.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lots more to come!
Most underrated channel on youtube. The parts at the end, where he educates us on how these tools work is amazing!! And so many restoration channels lack that
Much appreciated! I truly appreciate the support! Lots more to come!
Cool press. Nice clean up and a beautiful restoration.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Lot's
more to come!
Thank you! It was a fun project! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Nice dona bro!
Thank you! It turned out pretty nice! Next week is the 2x72 Belt grinder I will be building... I may incorporate some of your ideas into my build because I was so impressed with it! I just don't have the large contact / roller wheels that you do. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very nice job. I did not know about those vise grips for the drill press table and have just ordered one, very handy thanks.
Glad you're able to pick something up!!
Big Brother; "Well ain't you pretty. At least I still have my press plate."
Fantastic job!!! I'm very happy that you didn't use Bondo to make a showroom finish on a work tool.
Very nice color!
Thank you Antonio!
Nice work. I like the color you painted it.
Thank you! I wanted something timeless! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lots more to come!
Very good restoration bro 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!
Well done Sir, it looks amazing. To start with I didn’t like the brown, but when you’d finished with the detailing it really worked well. Will be a really useful tool in tbe workshop.
Thank you Matt!
Another excellent job.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
Job well done sir, your work is awesome.. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice job and every time I watch I learn a new trick from you thank you so much.
I am glad to be of service! I am always learning new tricks as well!
Great job I can't wait to see you redo his big brother lol
Ya, the big brother will be a little more involved, but it will happen! Thanks again for watching and commenting!
Are you a tired baseball play? You knocked that one out of the park!

Hello brother my name is Mike, I love your channel keep up the good work!
I truly appreciate that! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lot's more to come!
Found this in suggested list after HTR’s April fools video. Maybe you’ll blow up today if the algorithm is serving everyone the same?
Awesome!! I'm glad you found Salvage Workshop! If people keep enjoying the videos, who knows whats possible!! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support!
Nice job!
Excellent job, looks fantastic, I can't wait for the next alert for the upcoming project1
Thank you! I appreciate your support! New video every Saturday! Thanks for watching & commenting, I truly appreciate it!
I've often wondered how one even begins to forge something like the main housing for this little Arbor Press, let alone the bigger one you have.
Superb job!
Now big brother is jealous! He wants to be next! Nice job.....
Lol... I agree, but he'll just have to deal with it for awhile longer! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lot's more to come!
Congrats! Pretty restoration! Much handsome. Best regards from germany.
Much appreciated!
Very nice job.I would sure like to have a small press like that.
It's definitely a useful tool to have in the shop! Dake still makes this exact model, nothing has changed about it! Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it! Lot's more to come!
Absolutely badass.
Thank you my friend!! I am you enjoyed it!
Nice work and good tip with the temporary glue on vice jaws 👍
That trick has served me well for MANY years! Especially when you don't want to mark up whatever you are clamping into metal jaws. If you want to easily remove them, take a can of compressed air (used to blow out keyboard dust) Flip it upside down and spray the freon onto the glue joint and it will cleanly snap right off! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Great job it looks awesome
Thank you!
Absolutely exquisite!!!! Perfect 👍💯🤗
Cleaned up really good, now it's big brother needs to be restored. That part looks like it might be for a belt sander.
You're right! I'm building a 2x72 belt grinder / sander this week! Should be a fun build video! Thank you! Ya I plan to restore the 12 ton Dake Arbor press as some point! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support!
Outstanding!!!
Thank you my friend!
good job and thanks for the removal of the mushrooming on your chisel
looking foreward to the next project
your 638th sub
Lol No problem! Thank you for your support! Lot's more to come!
Tonight I cleaned up the mushrooms and sharpened on a bunch of my punches and chisels for you!
Love it great work and love the paint job
Thank you!! I truly appreciate it!
Dude that's badass bro, love it
Thank you Tim!
Do you know how few of these old manufacturing companies are still in business? Yet Dake is still in business at the same location, and still makes arbor presses.
I totally agree! Dake also hasn't changed the design of their arbor presses since the 40's or 50's!
Truly amazing. Looking at yr store, you've got plenty of restauration work to be done, keeping y busy for quite some time. Cheers fm the lion city of Singapore+
I have YEARS of restoration work, not to mention the build projects I have planned! Definitely stay tuned, LOTS to come! Thanks for watching and commenting!
very good
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
It's so tiny and cute. When the vid started I thought it was that monster Dake 😂😂😂😂
Maybe we'll get to that monster at some point, but it works perfectly and I use it all the time!
Man, you do beautiful work! Subscribed!
I truly appreciate that! Thank you! I also appreciate you watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
Fantastic work! We hear about modern workmanship, but this old press well? Cleaning all the casting burrs. Filling holes, not really repairing, but finishing what should have ben years ago
I enjoy how you take a old ugly thing make it better than new every time keep making more video's! And what spray paint do you use? Later brocephus! 😎💨
I try my best! I use Rustoleum Self etching primer and their paints as well, but it really depends on the project!
Enjoyed and gave a Thumbs Up also
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Lot's more to come!
Sunbathing dogs are fantastic and work is much fun!
UA-cam makes me do this... All that nice work and the rack/ram kinda sticks out with the leftover tarnish. Maybe cold blue or similar treatment...
Lol sure they do! Not a bad idea,, cold bluing would look nice!! Many times the rams get covered in oil and grease over time, and that's why I didn't do anything but clean it up. Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lots more to come!
My Dad had the Granddaddy of those two. It was a floor model, about 5 foot tall with a handle you had to reach up to about 7 ft. to grab the handle.. Super heavy.
That is awesome!! I have found many uses for my arbor presses since I got them! It can be a very useful tool! Thanks for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
Salut vraiment du très bon travail continue comme ça
Je vous remercie! Je vous remercie de regarder et de commenter! Beaucoup plus à venir!!
Great job , subscribed!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Lot's more to come!
I love restorations of tools. You did a great job on that old Dake press. I'm going to guess a belt sander and that was a pulley? Just my guess..... Subbed!
Me too! You are correct! I am building a 2x72 belt grinder / sander this week! Thank you for the compliment! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Lot's more to come!
@@SalvageWorkshop Look forward to the video. I would love to build one myself! I wish I had more tools like a lathe etc but my little garage won't take what I have now!
That's ok! Just keep doing your best with what you have!
excellent work...it will part of a belt sander
Bingo!
Black sharpie oil based paint marker to touch up the black areas on that brass name plate. :)
Sometimes I like the slightly weathered look of a used badge when restoring some machines!
2X72 belt grinder, love the video! LOL DJK wis.
Thank you! That is correct! That video will be up next Saturday! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support!
The DAKE company should give you a prize, if they even exist...
They do still exist, and I agree with you!
I have a one ton descendant of this press now. Dake tools rock.
Sweet.
Thank you!
Ahhh, a thing of beauty!
Thank you Mary!
New life for an old press
Absolutely! You'll see this in many future videos as well! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lots more to come!
Very nice job, but can you tell me what kind of grease that was you use on the gear. thanks
Show...
Ficou nota 10 👍🏽
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😎🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Man, you should restore that box at 12:51 lol
Lol... it could definitely use it! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lot's more to come!
Another great video bud. I'm wondering, do you use all of the equipment you salvage or sell? Also am I the only one who paused to read Dilbert? lol
You're the first person to comment on the comic relief! Glad you enjoyed it! As of now, I have kept every restoration I've ever done, and I use many of them...Maybe at some point I'll decide to sell some off them, but I am really doing these projects to have these old tools & machines in the shop! You can't buy em like this these days!
Beautiful. Got a subscribe from me buddy
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Lot's more to come!
Nicely done, I like the paint except for the silver back.
Thank you! I was shooting for something different! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lots more to come!
Going to have to clean and paint the big one the same and have a matching set. Nice work. 👍
Question. Are any of the old lathes, presses and machines for sale?
Beautiful! What purpose did the set screws serve?
The last part is for a belt sander roller?. When are your going to restore the big arbor press?
That is correct!! Eventually that big boy will get restored! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support!
NICE
Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support!
Just curious - do you ever check for lead paint before wire brushing? Lots of old equipment used it back in the day. Safety first!
Hi, your restoration work is impressive, I’m so motivated by it and I’m in the midst of restoring a similar Dake arbor press myself. First question, you removed the 2 small pins that hold the brass logo plate, what kind of pins did u replace it with? Second question, did you finish it with a clear protective coat? Hope to hear from you soon.
First off, really enjoy the videos. You've got some really cool old tool restorations. What did you use to stick the wood to the vise?
Thank you Ian! I used a hot glue stick.
Wow, where do you get such a collection of pre-made bearing shims?
It came out of a run down Machine shop I bought, but it wasn't that well organized when I got it! It would probably blow your mind how many collections of tools and materials like it I have! I didn't just get into doing these things for a UA-cam channel! I've been at it for a long time! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Lot's more to come!
Salvage Workshop this gonna be gold!
Eighteen thousand one hundred three subscribers??? Will lets just make that eiggreen thousand one hundred fore.👍
Thank you Thomas!
@@SalvageWorkshop No, no thank you for the entertainment. Looking forward to the next installment.🤗🤗🤗
You did an Amazing Job! That arbor Press Came out Beautiful! Dare i say Sexy? Lol Great Job Bro! Keep it up. So uh you going to do a restoration of his Big Brother too??? Lol Have a Nice day.
I truly appreciate that! It turned out pretty nice! Yes, I plan to restore the 12 ton Arbor Press in the future. Thanks for watching and commenting!
When are you going to do the big one
Not sure, but it will happen at some point! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lots more to come!
Looks like you should do your vise.
Then I might not want to use it!
Great job! There is however one question I have. What the hell do you power that grinder with that it's flammable? :p
It runs on pure determination! Which is highly flammable!
Now when are you going to do Big Brother ?
I definitely plan to restore it, but not sure when that will happen. It depends on how much interest I have in continuing to show my Restorations and Build Projects here on UA-cam! I have lots of projects planned as of now! Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate the support!
What airbase are you near?
While that probably looks better than new, you could have gone the extra 56 miles and polished the bar that goes up and down, and touched up the black on the label. Just because you could. You do such nice work, i'd like to see them taken to the extreme. not that it would make it work any better, but then painting the lettering on the casting doesn't help it work better either Maybe you could polish the spot where the item you're working on sits too? I don't know, just thinking that if you're gonna do it better than original, go all the way, but then I'm an all the way or not at all type, I probably wouldn't have restored it at all so long as it was doing the work it needed to.
I appreciate the compliments! I can totally understand that! For me its a balance between all the way and not too far. I plan to use this in the shop for its many intended purposes, and so polishing everything up just isn't practical for my needs! Thanks again for watching and commenting!
@@SalvageWorkshop Well, for me, once you go that far, practical doesn't really apply any more. Practical would be to clean it, lube it and that's it. But that's the way I am, you have to do what pleases you. I'm crazy like that, might even say OCD. That's why I often leave what's working alone, or I'll put way more time into it than it really needs. When I start to do something, I just get into it and go as far as I possibly can with it. Of course, these days I don't have many tools or a shop, so I generally only work on small things I can do at the kitchen table. I have a vise that clamps to the table, a baby anvil and many other down sized tools to work on small stuff. Of course, I also have magnifying lenses up to 30 power. I get down to the Nth degree most of the time It's an effort for me to do just what's needed and no more, but I do make myself stick to that sometimes.
One of the most important things in life is knowing one's self, your limitations, and your tendencies! Sounds like you know those things about yourself! No worries on having a tool setup like that! @@tootall5559
@@SalvageWorkshop One problem I have, is when they get brought back like this, I don't really see them as a tool, more like functional art. I always like to go all the way, or at least as far as my skills and pockets will allow. Polishing doesn't take a lot of cash, so I polish a lot of metal things. It mostly takes time and elbow grease. As a retried old fart, I have time, but some days I plumb run out of any elbow grease. Many of my projects tend to get put on hold, then they sit until who knows when... some never seem to get finished, where if I was to simply make them functional, it wouldn't take long at all. Please bear in mind I'm not at all saying what you did wasn't good, far from it, just talking about my tastes. Kinda your fault too, when you do it so well and so far... I'm just itching for it to be all the way,! My flaw though, not yours. I love your work.
Moat draks I have seen are green
Me too! I decided to do this one my own way! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support!
When you gonna restore the big so n so it was sitting on?
Not sure yet, but stay tuned, I have tons of cool projects coming up! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support!
think it misses a locking plate on the top of the arbour to stop it falling through the machine
There is a threaded hole on the top of the arbor shaft, so that is possible. Thanks for watching and commenting! I
appreciate it! Lot's more to come!

hehe, i used to fly on C-130s :D
That is awesome! I almost cut that part out, but thought it was pretty cool how well you could hear it! I have always wanted to get a ride in a C130!! The same night they were also doing low training exercises in the Chinooks, both aircraft's are WORK horses! I truly appreciate you watching and commenting!
@@SalvageWorkshop Living out by Greenwood? I work on the Hercs in Trenton.
I'm guessing it is a part of a belt grinder build.
Bingo!
Is that the baby anvil at the minute 6:38?
Yes sir! That's the baby anvil at work! Good eye!
belt sander 2x72 I would guess
You are correct! I've been wanting one, and I figure it will make for an awesome build video! Thanks for watching & commenting, I truly appreciate it!
Which airbase do you have nearby? i fly hercs
J-Model or Legacy?
Guessing its belt grinder?
DING DING DING! That's correct! I'm building a 2x72 belt grinder / sander this week! Should be a fun build video!
A belt sander?
