CFM chuck123wapati Posted January 12, 2022 CFM Report Posted January 12, 2022 It could have been for any number of bending ,pressing or light stamping applications in just about any thing from tin and light metal to leather and it still can be lol.

It a garage mechanics press adapted to be a clicker. Garage mechanics use them for pressing bearings into wheel hubs and such jobs. The lever has long since been replaced by a hydraulic ram or on some versions with an air-fed ram using air from a compressor It's a leatherworking clicker now Actually I don't think it was a press of any kind prior. likely like the member above said possibly modified from shears. If it were a clicker or press, it would have had a substantial Table of some kind under the pad. It has what appear to be some bolt on angle iron pieces that look to not be part of the original design. Edited January 12, 2022 by Cumberland Highpower Quote
Members HandyDave Posted January 13, 2022 Members Report Posted January 13, 2022 If you dont need the dies i deffently wouldnt pay 800 just for that press regardless of what it once was or has been made into. Like has been said for roughly 200 bucks you can get a hydraulic style press from harbor freight or several other stores. Northern tool has there 12 ton shop press for 180 bucks with free shipping to lower 48. Now depending on what kinda dies are with that press they could be worth quite a bit. Just my 2 cents. Quote
