Cheese Press Heavy Duty

Perfect

New cheese-maker very happy with this press.

I have just started cheesemaking and searched around for the best press and settled on this one. I have used it a few times and am very pleased with it. You set the pressure by using the wooden spacers which are labelled with the pressing force. The spacers allow the springs to be compressed by a fixed amount each time, ensuring consistency. My only minor criticism is that when tightening the wing nuts, there is a lot of friction between the nut and the washer below. I ground flat, the underside of each wing nut to make smoother and also fitted heavy duty nylon washers.

Good cheese press

Well made press and easier to use than using heavy weights. The springs have been calibrated to accommodate 10lb, 20lb and 50lb. The forces can be checked by using a set of bathroom scales and new blocks can be made for different masses if nedded.
