do you think 150 pound press is enough for stamping leather with a 1.5x1.5 stamp and cutting slots and holes though leather?

this K+M one is pretty tall and have an extra long feature as well

In a one word answer . . .  no . . . it is a toy compared to the one I showed you above.  

Show me what you want to cut / punch / stamp / or whatever you are trying to do. 

I don't mean to sound hard on you . . . but you have done a lot of talking . . . but have not fully offered any idea of exactly what you are wanting to do.  Give us something more to work with (pictures are great) . . . and we can help you more.

May God bless,

Just a thought.  A drill press can be used as a arbor press.  Lets be honest here, you are going to use the press for a clicker die and setting snaps we are not talking more than 1 ton of pressure. I would look around at fleas markets nd pawn shops for an older drill press and robust rack and pinion gears

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

$148.00  LOL   NOT ME!!

I would use that press in my reloading room for DE-capping. I believe it could handle that job. It looks to wimpy to actually press lead

My Herters and Pacifica  are doing a fine job

Interesting modification but those extended legs have to affect the overall rigidity.

A broaching arbor press has a taller opening in order to put the broaches in.

You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
