Actually I have 2 arbor presses. Small one owned many years used for hole punches, rivet setting canvas and leather grommets etc. simple metal bending , lots of cartridge case work too. Ought to sell no easy way to ship it . Cases using lube no real need for a big press. 

Big one came along hard to resist the  3 1/2 Greenard. If you were In Beaufort NC instead of SC be easy to use it.

On keeping the force vectors in line. That’s why I fitted my Ram with a removable shoe & mounted chuck, it’s a # 36 Jacobs 3/4 inch capacity. Use a center punch spot & center on the parts pressure point with it then shift to the correct size Ram punch, die etc. 

Straight is good

Looks like you've got the makings of a serious side hustle. That's a beautiful piece of machinery. Do you know the max pressure it can bring to bear?
