Pat; An arbor is a shady area or a latticework bower entwined with roses or vines. For your application it is called an arbor press and is usualy used to remove or install bearings on a shaft or axel. Pen turners use them to press fittings or tubes into blanks. Jim S

Also, expandable lathe arbors are what we commonly refer to as expanding mandrels. Used for holding work from the inside.

Is that what you use on game calls?

Yes Dan, the expandable mandrel is used by a lot of call makers.

I knew that it was a popular method I'm curious if it's what he uses.

I'd like to get one for duck calls but I don't know that I'm going to turn enough of them to make the purchase worthwhile About $40 if I remember correctly

Dan, that is what I use. PM heading your way...

Capn Eddie recently did a youtube making call using a jam chuck. If you are only going to do a few, that may be a good way to go.

I just watched the Capt'n Eddie call video it is good. A way of doing it on the cheap if you are only going to make a couple of calls.

I did one with jamb chuck type bushings on either end. Came out fine but arbor type mandrel or pin Chuch seems so much better.

I like capt Eddie but his videos are way way too long.
