Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup begins by mounting the press to a sturdy, flat surface using the provided base mounting holes to ensure safety. Before use, ensure the workpiece is centered on the anvil plate to distribute force evenly.
Compatibility:
- Ram Bore: Accepts tools with a 0.4-inch (approx. 10mm) diameter shank.
- Workpiece Size: Maximum vertical clearance is 4.7 inches.
Care:
- Lubrication: Regularly apply a light machine oil to the ram assembly to keep the action smooth.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the cast iron surfaces after use, especially if working with leather treatments or chemicals that could promote corrosion.
- Storage: Keep in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the anti-rust finish.
