Roller Press As Clicker Alternitive

[Glendon]

Question. Does anyone have any experience with roller presses like Accucut or Ellison presses? They advertise that they can supposedly die cut leather, though I'm not sure how thick they can actually handle. I'm thinking that if they can handle up to 5-6 oz, they might be an economical alternative to a clicker. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Hi,

Die cutting leather requires many ton of pressure, the smallest presses uses 6 ton, normally 10 to 20 tons. This looks like a paper clip tool; I suppose it can cut very thin bookbinder leather. It looked like it is inspired from, gingerbread die cutting with a bakery roll. It is normal with moving head cutting presses; I guess a moving bed one will take up unnecessary big space. I bet you can cut the same thickness of leather with a die and a hand roll.
