Vevor Leather Cutting Machine

[dikman]

Basically a manual clicker press, I saw one on youtube and thought that looked useful. Amazon (Aus) had what was an older version with needle bearings on the shaft end for what was a good price ($178) and by signing up to their app (which I won't use again as I prefer using my computer) I got another $20 0ff. $158 delivered was too good to pass up. It arrived today, well packed, and I forgot how heavy 50lbs is!!! This thing is built like a tank! As a bonus it is the later model with big bearings on the shaft ends.

So, the base and pressure plate are made from 5/8"/16mm plate steel, the main support bar is 1 1/4"/30mm bar and the upright bolts are 3/4"/17mm rod. The end bearings are 1 3/4"/45mm diameter and the pressure plate 10.2" x 4.7"/260 x 120mm. I'm glad I didn't get a bigger one because of the added weight.

It has a travel of 1/2"/12mm and claimed downward pressure of between 1 - 1 1/2 ton, depending on which article you read. A quick trial of the only clicker die I have handy (lent my other ones to a mate) and it went through the leather like butter! Should be good for imprinting things too. Me happy.

Yeah I got 1 of the vevor's about a year ago. It does everything i need it to do. 

I also had some custom dies made by weaver & i highly recommend them if ever looking for cutter dies.

Being in Australia getting dies made by Weaver isn't really an option. I'd like to have a go at making dies but so far haven't been able to source rule steel here in Oz.

Nice you should get good use of it.

It will certainly out last me! If used as intended (or possibly even abused!) I can't see any fail points on it, an unusually well made bit of Chinese gear.
