The press is the cheapest thing you're going to buy.
You'll need an Ottawa Tool Catalog and about $400.00 to get the right
press assist to do the things you want.
In twenty years I've spent less than $200.00 having the press work done
for me.
The question is; do you have the room to store that thing for twenty
years once you've got done with it?
