Large Finishing Press #1 for Bookbinding:
$169.00

Classic large finishing press for bookbinding. It is made from plywood and is available in dark or light finishing. All surfaces are treated with linseed oil sealed and sanded to gain a silky smooth finish. Handles are steel core wrapped in rope.

For this press I use metal rods instead of traditional wood threaded rods. This allows to reduce the price considerably.

I, personally, prefer presses with metal rods because they allow you to apply more pressure if needed. A press with metal rods is also more durable — there would be no chipping as with a wood rod.

Dimensions:
  • Jaw height: 14-15 cm (5 7/8")
  • Jaw thickness: 6 cm (2 3/8")
  • Between the rods: ~35 cm (13 3/4")
  • Opening size: 10-30 cm (4"-12"), depending on your order (30 cm by default)
  • Length: 50 cm (19 1/2")
  • Rods: M16 (5/8")
  • Weight: 7,5 kg (16lb 9oz)
Customization is available!
I can change the length of rods specially for your order (something between 30 cm and 50 cm seems to be reasonable).

All measurements are made in cm and sizes in inches are approximate.
