Members Spartyon Posted March 31 Members Report Posted March 31 Does anyone have input on the $1200 clicker press from Leather Machine Co? I’m in the market and this looks like a good price for a 5 ton. Just looking for some guidance. Thanks Quote

A alternative to a clicker press be it slower that may work is a hydraulic press. A 20 ton press will cost about $250 USD. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
Moderator bruce johnson Posted March 31 Moderator Report Posted March 31 I had one of the original presses of that design - Lucris Mach III. It was pretty good. Height adjustment for different dies was pretty simple. Platen size was OK for smaller dies - i could do spur straps, rosettes, and coasters easily. For a bench top press - small footprint and worked OK. That price is pretty good.
