I don't think it is an arbor press, although it is a very nice press it does not use a rack and pinion system but the arms and mechanism below to make the mechanical advantage. To me it's way better than an arbor press. I tried to explain to myself what makes an arbor press and could not do it and make sense but maybe this will help. https://www.3dmechanism.com/post/ar...nion-mechanism-force-multiplication-explained That press would be the beginning of a set to load at the range for me and a perfect way to start.

BD ... this is a compact "C" Press and not an arbor. It is similar to a Harrell's or Bruno BR Press, but I don't think it's either. I could be wrong. As far as who made, not a clue.

Someone on the forums will likely recognize it.

Very similar in component and design to the Sinclair.

Neat little press, C press with threads designed to use dies. Not an arbor press but pretty cool for sure. It would be handy to have out at the range or off the tailgate in my opinion.

Looks like an off shoot "c" press for loading at the range. The back end would clamp to a bench using a "C" clamp like many group shooters do nowadays. I'd say someone copied the Harrels compact press.

Looks like excellent private machine work, not commercially made.

The back end mounting plate seems odd, if clamped to a bench, the ram would not be perpendicular to the bench due to the angle of the mounting plate. The only other place I've seen this is with the guys who make their own jacketed bullets, they tilt presses back.......

for want of a better explaination---that is a copy of the Sinclair reloadig press
go to the Brownell's website and do a search

The round depression milled into the very top on the front face seems to be made for an ID tag of a manufacturer. Maybe a prototype of a new product that never came to be?

the design cut in the arms and side, front, of the press is a clue???

Looks like a Ross & Wilson. I have seen one similar on eBay a while back. Or someone’s one off project.

Those flutes are just decorative - I think.

This is from someone who has built a lot of one-offs...
If that's a one-off, somebody was VERY fussy.
Beautiful piece.
