Portable Arbor Press

This portable arbor press is a hand tool designed for light pressing and assembly tasks in automotive and workshop environments. It suits technicians and hobbyists who need a compact press for occasional bearing installation or small component removal. The unit provides a pulling capacity of three pounds for straightforward jobs.

Installation and common issues

The press arrives ready to use with no assembly required beyond securing it to a stable work surface. Its forcing screw uses a 1/2-13 UNC-3B thread for standard compatibility with available tooling. The most frequent issue is insufficient reach for deeper workpieces, as maximum reach is limited to seven and a half inches.

Pre-order checks

Verify that your workpieces fit within the maximum spread of two and a half inches and the seven and a half inch reach. Ensure the 1/2-13 UNC-3B forcing screw matches the tooling you intend to use. Buyers who need greater pressing force or larger throat depth should consider a floor-standing press instead.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 3ZM98 arbor press is operating correctly after setup?

Apply force to the forcing screw with a 1/2-13 UNC-3B thread and verify the ram moves smoothly across the full 7 1/2 in reach without binding.

What comes with the 3ZM98 and what must I source separately?

The press ships as a complete unit; no extra hardware is included for the 1/2-13 UNC-3B forcing screw, so supply your own matching tooling if required.

Which capacity version of the Dayton 3ZM98 should I select?

This model delivers a fixed 3 lb pulling capacity with a 2 1/2 in maximum spread, so choose it only when those limits match the job.
