Bogen CHB-20A Rebuild

[physics]

Good point on the terminology. I've been saying "squared" in the sense of the hole being drilled at 90 degrees to the face of the ram, but "re-aligned" is clearer.

I could see if the seller is willing to take it back, though since it was a classifieds ad there is no guarantee. That, and it was cheap enough ($80) that even after the machine shop it could still be a better deal than finding the next comparable press on the market. We'll see. Thanks for all your input, I'll see what the machine shop and the seller says. Maybe once I have a quote from the machine shop for fixing the hole I'll present that to the seller to see about a partial refund or something.

Also, just to make sure I'm not barking up the wrong tree, here is a picture of the mounted tool that shows the crookedness of the ram's hole:
   
I assume that's enough to throw things out of whack when swaging, and it seems to roughly correlate with where the defects in the eyelets are, but posting here just in case it's negligible tilt and the issue is elsewhere, yet to be diagnosed.

Thanks for all your input! I'll see what the machine shop and possibly seller say.
