Hey guys. I think I will be needing one or something similar. The Tippmann machines look good but ordering from the US I would rather avoid.. Any recommendations where to get something like this in Europe?

A good manual press might be OK as well.

Many thanks.

The Lucris Handpress M A III Series - Manual clicker is available in Europe from either Germany;

http://www.starcuttingboards.de/en/handstanze.html

Or UK;

https://www.alpress.co.uk/new-products.html

As far as I know it's trade only and unfortunately the price range seems to change quite often, but unless you're going to use clicker templates that are for bag making this is still a very economical alternative, not to mention that they are small and doesn't need electricity.

If you contact them for a price quote, I think a lot of people here would like to know the current prices!

Good Luck!

Many thanks for all the replies :)

All the huge presses are too big for my purposes, this is the reason why I mostly considered the Tippmann presses. They do have a lot of power, the cutting space would be sufficient and the price is more or less acceptable. Only problem is the expensive shipping to Europe + customs hassle which do bug me a lot.

The small Lucris hand press seems quite interesting and might do the job as well. I have sent a quote request, lets see what they reply

FYI, the Tippmann press is a branded version of a medical cutting press sold in Thailand for a LOT less money.

I used to know where to get it. And almost did when I lived there. Unfortunately, circumstances changed, and I returned to Austria before I completed the purchase.

I'll post the contact info if I can ever find it again.

I use a benchtop press intended to motor mechanics to press wheel bearings in/out. It presses up to 6 tons and cost me £55, plus about £15 for a heavy steel bottom plate, a 6mm plate to spread the pressure across the die, and a heavy duty plastic cutting board. It doesn't take up much space and, being handraulic, is easy on the electric bill ;-)

Does it work pretty good? Harbor freight here in the states carries this type of press.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
