Multi-function Steel Press

Problem Solver

Everyone recommends the Arbor Press as the solution to apartment noise, but this turned out to be a much better solution. I wanted primarily to be able to use my existing chisels, snap setters, and hole punches and this did the job out of the box. The only things it did not work with were my longest chisels (140mm and longer). It also looks nice on my bench, doesn't take up any bigger footprint than my poundo board, and is not too heavy. Artisan shipped out quickly and well packed.

Pressing on !

I picked up the set #01, with the snap accessories. After taking time to figure this beauty out. With the male thread being 6mm. and the female at 8mm. I've started an accessory collection. If small adjustments to the base are made, such as stacking or removing, she will press all manner of tools. When pressing the stitching irons, 2 pieces of punch pad with leather has worked the best for me. It feels sooo nice to press the tooling, instead of having a whack attack. Calm, accurate, quiet and you can monitor depth or angle. I'm a night owl who seriously appreciates being able to work at 2:00 or 3:00 in the AM. This machine has become the STAR of my small leather studio, with it's own light and tool cubby. Thank You Artisan !!
