   I have three hydraulic shop presses, but for many small jobs my arbor   
   press is much faster and more convenient.  I easily use the arbor press   
   hundreds of times more often than all the hydraulic presses combined.   
   ---------------------------   
      
   I tend to use the milling vise as a light duty press because alignment on   
   parallels etc is easier. The handle force isn't excessive for 1000 Lbs of   
   clamping pressure.
