Leather Cutting Machine, 7.1 x 3.9 in Embossing Plate Manual Die Cutter, 0.47 in Pressure Stroke Leather Embossing Machine, Dual Guide Shafts Die Cut Machine for Various of Materials

It's big. It's heavy. It's a little dirty (but it's a machine, so that's to be expected). It also comes in a fun wooden crate.It came with one retaining bolt unfastened and the other loose, but was easy to securely attach. All parts accounted for.It includes a rather substantial wrench for adjusting the height of the plate. It appears to be set correctly out of the box so I haven't had to make adjustments yet.The action is smooth with the addition of a little bit of machine lube.I just have to wait for my custom die to come in the mail to really test it out.Great value for the cost of you don't want to drop $1600+ on a manual clicker press.

the tool is solid good quality!Because the box was slightly destroyed in shipping, for the weight of the tool, the box is weak. the two main bolts were damaged in shipping, a nut that secured the bolt to the metal plate was missing, the other nut was hit and it stripped the threads- NO BIGGIE- still a quality built tool.Solution- remove the two large bolts/anchor bolts, turn them upside down, putting the stripped threads on top, which doesn't matter having damaged treads on the top side. buy two new nuts, slice them in half with a cutting wheel (be careful, use a vice to hold the nut). Secure them on the underside of the metal base plate, tighten the two top nuts and the two main bolts are now secure. at this point your back in business!

After a little bit of adjusting and leveling out the cutting surface of this machine this has to be the best leather working tool I have ever bought I saw the reviews I expected it to come in in several pieces and I would have to do a lot of work on it that was not true the wooden box was Secure and everything was in it all I had to do was put the handle on level the bed and bring it down to where I need it to cut I have to barely move the bar and it cuts perfect I have to say I recommend this a lot I was watching another video and I was told to go get an arbor press to do the same thing well that did not work out well so I ordered this from Amazon the vivor die press and I have to tell you it is by far the best thing I have done I think I said that once before so I brought the Harbor Freight press back and also the price was great for this press

Super heavy and didn't work. It wouldn't cinch - the pad wouldn't go down. The bar that you pull just went around and around. Pain in the butt to have to return such a heavy item.

The media could not be loaded. As you can see by my pictures, the machine did not arrive in good condition. I found it on my driveway with the crate upside down. It appeared that one of the wood blocks which would’ve held it off the ground for a forklift to get under it was broken off. And the crate was barely holding together. Peeking inside the gaps, I could see that the machine was tipped upside down just floating around inside the crate. It was not secured to the crate at all. After removing it from its box and getting it right side up, I had to set about putting it all back in working order. The pillars were totally loose. One bearing was slid partially off of its journal and not seated properly. So after tightening everything up and getting it adjusted level. I was able to set it up to try and use it. The Machine in use actually works pretty good. My only complaint is that there’s not a whole lot of travel. If your die cutters are not all the same height you need to make adjustments in the height of the press plate. Not the end of the world but annoying. I gave it four stars based totally on the Machine itself and did not remove any stars because of the shipping. All in all, I’m happy with the purchase. Luckily, I was handy enough to put it all back together and get it all tightened up square and straight. Thankfully, there didn’t appear to be any permanent damage from the poor shipping.

The product came in a sturdy wooden box with no damage, and placed in my garage, which is a good start. It was extremely heavy, as indicated on the box that it should be carried by 2 people. I was able to take the press apart and carry the separate pieces to the room where i was able to set it up. Setup was extremely easy. I used a 4ft level to ensure the press was level. I purchased additional nylon boards as well as steel plates if needed (which i believe will be needed to keep the steel blades from moving in the die cuts). Previous reviews suggested there might be a problem with the gap where the nylon boards, die cuts and leather are placed, but i found it easy to make the opening larger as necessary. No missing parts. no chips or damage. easy to set up. easy to modify the gap. The only thing that would make this perfect, would be a small level bubble affixed to the press itself and a steel plate the same size as the nylon board.I will continue to use the press with multiple die cutters and stamps and will update my review if needed.

3 starts because shipping was a nightmare.Bought 1 and never got shipped. Bought a second one and the package arrived damaged with some visible damage on the product too.The press is SUPER heavy though and the build quality seems good (only had it for a day). I do want to note I bought a canopy tent from the same brand and it rusted and ripped super quickly. Hopefully this item won't have any issues.It does the trick if you don't need to make any deep cuts. Adjusting the high can be a bit challenging because of the wrench, but if you have your own that can rotate while staying engaged you should be fine.

The product works as describes but for only small cut outs. When arrived one of the rollers was loose, and when i asked for help, it was useless. I don’t believe they know their product at all, all they did was send replacement parts that were already on machine. I had to take to a machine shop to get roller reassembled, i was not strong enough to get the ring clip back on. I asked for instructions and they sent file via a site i could not download from. It has all been self testing. So if buy b ready to deal with it on your own with no help from vendor. I wasted so much time before it worked as i needed. I will not purchase anything else from this vendor.
