Arbor Press

[Norm Barrett]

Terry,
I made a simple tool to achieve uniform height  to pins  by drilling a 
hole in a brass rod  the depth that I wanted the height to be. A 
separate  tool is needed for each height but is simple enough to do. 
Using that with the arbor press really makes the job foolproof. Now my 
tools are not getting peaned with the hammer and the height is perfect.
