Hi Guys
Since you have defective eyelet rolls when using the 1715 in the seemingly crooked hole in the arbor press, you have proof that the arrangement is unusable and that the hole is definitely crooked. You can check the squareness of the ram face against the arbor table using a piece of paper. Bring the ram down to where it would otherwise meet the table and see how the impression is on the paper with a low force - basically trying to make "first contact" rather than a crushing imprint (and maybe see what alien life forms live in the paper?).
That magnetic chuck looks like a good prospect. The downside of it is the lost travel of the press ram. This may require repositioning the handle for a more comfortable arm pull input.
