Typically common are presses with a leverage of one to five tons. This leverage is achieved when a force is applied to the lever arm or wheel. Arbor presses can be mounted on a work bench, wall, or pedestal. The base is usually constructed of cast metal. A ''ram'' provides the force; it may be square or round. The ram is usually driven by a rack and pinion. Higher force arbor presses have a further gear reduction. Forces are usually generated by manual or hydraulic input.
