What would be the minimum Ton for a Arbor or Press I would need for general use on a motorcycle?  And which would be best between the two? What might I expect to pay? Thanks anyone.

   Tonage of press can be changed with a nice long cheater pipe over the handle. More importantly would be knowing how much clearance you need between the platen and the ram. Any chance you will want to broach keyways? Then you going to need at least 12" or more!  Also concider the space available below the platen where you would hang cams and such to push them out of the cam plate. Space down there and cost is why most people go with hydraulic jack type presses.
