Hi Guys
I think the root of one confusion is referring to the "squared" hole rather than the "re-aligned" hole.
Can't you bring the press back to the seller and get a refund? Whoever drilled it must have tried to do it by hand.
If you are going to talk to the shop, bring the intact press instead of just the ram so they can take it apart and see that the ram is not tapered on one side or other, in case that caused the crookedness of the center hole. Certainly if they can redo the hole straight, then it will be easier to use your coupler and/or shim tape to align the stock 1715. Still, a machined part to fit the straightened hole would be the ultimate fix - or fixes.
I was lucky since the guy that made my staking tool also gave me a press. I found an identical press for about $100 and set it up for smaller eyelets, and then a slightly larger one for swaged nuts. The latter was to be able to use machine screws instead of self-tap to secure chassis bottoms.
