Clicker Press In Europe

[suhajko]

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.

Where about in Europe? I've seen quite a few on eBay Germany lately.

Im located in Slovakia... Could you send me some links? Or at least a german expression that will look up the results on the german ebay?

Thanks

The general term would be "Stanzpresse" but they are using various terms.

Here are two links for larger machines.

You can go from there or modify a workshop press to a manual clicker press.

Or here are smaller hydraulic ones.

You can use Google translate to at least understand the description on them.

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!

About £1600 on the UK if I remember correctly

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.
