This is a nice little press!
By Robert L. Kalb
It arrived VERY quickly...surprisingly so, but it seems it was shipped from PA where I live so this makes sense. It arrived all in one piece...barely. The box showed it is a heavy item (50+lbs) and took a beating on the way. No problems...everything was there and nicely wrapped so no damage at all. If you're expecting this to make it all the way across the country it might need a more secure package to ensure it'll survive.
Open the box, and was surprised and delighted at the powder-coated pieces. Very nice...especially for such a low priced device. You might be intimidated at first by the number of parts involved..25 or so not counting the fasteners, but don't worry it all fits together logically and you've got a couple detail pictures to guide you.
During assembly it is possible to get things very crooked as there are a bunch of links all bolted together. I did my best and had it looking pretty straight and even but it still wobbled a tad on the floor. One of the the things that appealed to me about this press is the design which should self-center itself when force is applied by the ram. I stacked the thick metal table plates supplied (as cast surface, not machined so it won't hold precision parts) and pumped the ram down and put some pressure on it and two quick 'snap's later it had stretched and pulled all the parts to the limits of each hole...which made it feel solid and now it sits squarely on the table top. The precision of the hole locations is critical to something like this working right...and they did a spot-on job on this one. Very nice.
As of yet, I haven't used it to perform its' primary function here as a motorcycle cam gear pressing tool, but the SV1000 cams are very short so the table height will work just fine. There is NOT a ton of room on this press...3 1/2" from ram to top of plate with table set at lowest position. Go between the table to the bottom beam is 7" and it will allow 1/2" between the angles. They are pretty thin and could easily be relieved to allow up to 2 1/2" object no problems.
So, even being so small this press could accommodate much larger objects with slight modification so don't overlook it for being so compact. To be honest, if they'd offered this same press a foot taller I'd have gone with it just for that extra room that who knows what will be needed in the future. But I like the press a lot. Rob

By A Reader
Bought this press to use as a strong stamping machine, and it works wonderfully. Very easy to use and has a solid frame. Only drawbacks (very minor) is that the bottom of my press cylinder is not perfectly flat and can leave a small indent in the material that is being pressed (even the solid metal press plates). Also to note is that the press plates are not perfectly flat either. Still, it gets the job done.

Great Little Press!
By James Dingman
This is a great little press and is exacly as advertised. I discounted it one star because it arrived with the packing torn and missing screws that had fallen through the hole. Not a problem for me since I have lots of screws laying around looking for something to do.
Assembly went smootly and the press is supprisingly well engineered. Not a real accurate as far as the spindle being square with the world but a little judicious tapping here and there with a mallet durring assembly got things pretty close.
Bottom line is that it is a well engineered, relatively inexpensive press and it does the job I got it for.
