Wade Arbor Press

[William ChithamParticipant @williamchitham75949]

I bought this press in an auction this week and I am curious to discover something/anything about the manufacturer. I believe there was a Wade in the US who manfactured lathes but I’ve found nothing to suggest they made presses. Haven’t found any mention odf a Wade in the UK other than Kitchen & Wade. Can anyone shed any light?

The other thing is the capacity – it is labelled “No. 4”, is that part of any standardised system or just the manufacturer’s number?

Thanks, William.

Could it refer to the force it exerts ,as in the case of fly presses ?

I can’t answer your question, but must say that’s a very useful-looking bit of kit

Nearest I can find, so-far … but I’m not entirely convinced:
