Main highlights

• •If you have ever tried to assemble a pen without some sort of press or jig, then you know how difficult it can be. Keeping the pieces and parts together and in line can be a chore all on its own. This pen press eliminates those typical headaches when assembling pens. From the tip to the caps and most everything in between, this press will help you produce wonderful looking and properly working pens each and every time you use it.
• •The press can exert up to 30 pounds of pressure when pressing pens. This is more than enough for most any pen style. Usually when pressing pen parts we start with the tip and work our way back so to speak to the cap and clip. This press handles all of those assembly steps and it can do it with just the right amount of pressure each time
• •The adjustable assembly rod can be adjusted in and out to accept most any length of pen barrel. Simply loosen the large, easy to handle knob to make any adjustments as needed. You can even adjust the aluminum toggle stop in and out to micro adjust to just the right amount of distance or pressure needed for your pen.
• •The pen press is mounted to a solid piece of anodized extruded aluminum. This provides you with enough surface area to easily clamp the pen vise to a workbench or table top. The aluminum base measures approximately 15¾” in length and is 3” wide. The max distance between the toggle stop and the UHMW stop is approximately 6 -5/8”.
• •Included with the pen press are two wooden dowels. The dowels fit neatly into the center hole on the UHMW pressure stop. Each dowel protrudes out of the UHMW pressure stop to act as a holder for the pen barrel. It’s the perfect way to keep the barrel in place without having to hold in place with your fingers! This pen press is the perfect addition for any pen turner who needs to be precise when assembling pens!
