King's X Report post Posted September 2, 2011 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted September 2, 2011 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King's X Report post Posted September 2, 2011 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.
