Old Coach Saddlery Report post Posted July 14, 2023 Anyone have experience with a Mast Harness Press? Going to look at one this weekend. Comes with a bunch of English saddle dies. I’m an equipment junky. Not sure yet what I would do with it . English tack is my thing but these dies look pretty dated. Anyway I would love any info someone could give me. Good bad or ugly. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted July 14, 2023 I had one and used it for a few years. I’d think about buying one again if I was doing much work. They are heavy and solid. The round platen was a bit limiting but wasn’t bad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Coach Saddlery Report post Posted July 15, 2023 Bruce, I thought the round plates might be the detracting part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeatherLegion Report post Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) I have the same press but in green. ...i think i posted some pictures way back. You have to turn the round plate to adjust the height...very fine thread so it's a bit of work , but once you set it and use the same dies , you are good. The press is extremly heavy and has to be bolt it down...i have mine bolted to the floor . I also had a Lucris MA III and the green one seems to have more umph The plate's diameter is arounf 11in . Way better option than one of those hydraulic shop presses in my opinion. If it doesn'y have any cracks and everything moves smooth it'll do the job just fine Hope this helps Eddie Edited July 15, 2023 by LeatherLegion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Coach Saddlery Report post Posted July 15, 2023 Eddie yes it does. I was going to see how far I could disassemble it to move. Such as the plates. But I think I’ll leave them alone. Thx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
