    Excellent. Your short video is a perfect example of how all educational videos should be: clear, focused on topic, thorough, and lacking (YES!!) the too-usual background music. Nothing missing, nothing extra. Perfect. Thanks.

    I was planning on buying a HF Arbor Press soon. The adjustment portion was something I didn't know about. Thanks for sharing. Very helpful.

    I love this. Simple solution to a big problem: how to cut larger parts on a small machine, just move the die/part and press again. These are things I dont think about until i get my hands on a machine and try it hands on. Excellent.

    I have an arbor press and had no idea that you can use the arbor press as a die clicker. Thanks for sharing and the demo. And like you said, using the arbor press as a die cutter is much much cheaper than buying an expensive die clicker press.
    Much appreciated

    Great video! I've been recently looking at clicker presses and am mortified by the prices and simply can't understand why they are so expensive. This looks like a great resource for those of us not in production settings.

    I place a magnet on the shaft of the press that allows me to keep my presser plate in place while raising and lowering the shaft. It allows me to use a variety of dies and punches such as hole punches, belt end punches, stitching chisels, etc.

      Buddy Hutchins it is about 1”x2”x3/8” block magnet. You can get them at Lowe’s, Hobby Lobby, Home Depot, etc. I put it on the bottom of the shaft with my homemade presser plate beneath. Works like a charm.
