Hand Cutting Press

Recommended Posts

Has anyone seen this item? It appears to be a manual clicker machine. The information that I have been able to locate is that this items in made in Australia and is called a Hand Cutting Press? Just wondering if it is affordable for my little hobby shop.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have played with one a bit, and know a guy with one. Here's a link to the wesite - MA III Series Clicker Press . I don't remember the size of the platen, but the bed is 12x9 and the head is smaller. I think I read somewhere that it translates into about 5 tons of pressure. They are pretty precision made and adjustable for die height. I saw one was demonstrated to use as an embossing press and used with letter stamps all lined too. They used to be around $1200 in memory ?? The website has a number to call for the US distributer.

I appreciate the links. I spoke with Big Papa Leather today during a shop visit about his home made manual clicker and his cost was about $500. Comparing the costs, I might think that I will take his route and just make room for it in the garage. $1200 for a desktop model is steep, just my opinion. Again, I appreciate the help.
