>I think you are talking about the ones some of us got from Grizzly before they sold out of them. It is really a hole punch that was put on clearance that some modified to a pen press. Works great.

>Yes, it was a closeout Grizzly punch press. It is just a cross between a drill stand and an arbor press, very well made and almost 18 lbs. It is sprint loaded, so the ram goes back up by itself.

I posted the link here after I got mine. Obviously the news went around to other forums, and Grizzly ran out of them. It was a super bargain at $20 including shipping.

The Harbor Freight arbor press makes a very good pen press too.

>I just use my drill press to assemble pens and it has worked well for me for years! I put a flat point from an old Rockwell live center in the jaws and have at it.
