Book Press 14-1/2" x 14-1/2" Flat Plate Book Press, Laminate Top, Item 220-1

Item # 220-1 is our Newest Press - 14-1/2” wide x 14-1/2” (368mm x 368mm) Laminated Surface Book Press for pressing flat books, note pads, or similar items. With a 12” x 12” (305mm x 305mm) working area between the posts, there is lots of room to press your workpieces. We have improved the hole locations by using CNC equipment for exacting alignment of all components.

Made from ¾” (18.5mm) thick Laminated surface plywood (for strength and rigidity) with melamine edge banding on the sides. The 6” (152mm) long bolts also give a total opening height of 4-1/4” (108mm), so thick or multiple stacks can be pressed flat at the same time. Shorter or longer bolts are available upon request. The table is 14-1/2” deep, but longer materials can be used as there is no depth restriction.

The soft feel oversized knobs can be easily spun down holding everything firmly in place with minimal effort. No fighting with wing nuts & hurting fingers trying to get proper clamping pressure. Overall nominal dimensions: 14-1/2” wide x 14-1/2” deep x 6” high (top of bolt). Four plated 5/16-18 x 6” carriage bolts are threaded into steel thread inserts in the lower platen. The top platen is pressed down by using four oversized 2-1/2” (63mm) diameter polypropylene knobs with metal thread inserts for extra ease in clamping down tightly.

Light assembly is needed, although no tools are required.

Special size beds, bolts, materials, stains, finishes, or knobs will be cheerfully quoted upon request!
