VEVOR Leather Cutting Machine, 10.2 x 5.9 in Embossing Plate Manual Die Cutter, 0.47 in Pressure Stroke Leather Embossing Machine, Dual Guide Shafts Die Cut Machine for Various of Materials

This machine is very straightforward. The handle moves a cam lobe around and moves the press plate down about 3/4” with great force. Smooth operation with needle bearings. With occasional oiling and cleaning, it should last until the end of time. It is very heavy and will need a heavy sturdy table or work bench. It comes in a wooden crate. It is really heavy. Repeat. Really heavy.

I am happy to report that it worked right out of the box and has met every expectation. The build is heavy-duty and great quality, yet compact enough to set up anywhere. It is essentially ready to go and you likely won't even need the instructions. However, for anyone who does need help with specific adjustments, I found that customer service is very responsive via email and can provide a video to assist with the process. It weighs about 50lbs Over all great quality for a good price!

This press is such a time saver!

Works for cutting leather with proper dies. Heavy and stable. Only complaint I have is; if you purchase dies with pins to cut stitching holes, this press does not push the leather down far enough to completely create the holes. I've found that I have to place scrap pieces of leather over the leather in the die (after punching it out) and drive it down over the stitching hole pins with a rawhide mallet to finish the process. While this is a bit of a PITA, it does make the process quite a bit easier and more accurate than cutting by hand. Sellers: don't offer bribes for up ratings. I will report you to Amazon. I rely on these ratings as I'm sure many do and I consider this behavior unacceptable. If you want to lose me as a customer - that's the way.

So far I really love it. I hope to get a video made soon and I'll post it. One thing about it. IT'S FREAKIN HEAVY!

Wow, this is a cutting Machine, it paid for itself

Easy to use if you know what you're doing. Works fantastically well for me. It's been a life saver for me

I come from a gasket cutting background. Starting a home based business and needed to cut sponge rubber. I choose this press because the force (3300 lbs) would be enough and long dies could be pushed through making part length a non issue. It comes packaged in a wooden box with cut out hand holds, nice. You'll have the tighten the bottom nuts and adjust the cutting height nuts. Make sure the handle pints away from you and the name on the bottom plate is facing you. Without the handle facing away the .47" clearance won't be achieved, meaning you might be limited to cutting only very thin material. I'm cutting .200 thick material without a problem and the handle (and my hand) doesn't hit a long die's steel rule. I attached the cutting board to the top plate using the (4) existing holes. A counter sink keeps everything flat. I'm cutting with the rule up and place material on the die which makes easier for me to see what's going on. This press will allow you to apply as much or little force as needed to make clean cuts. Our dies will thank you for this with longer life. Happy cutting...

Good solid quality

Muito melhor do que esperava. Um equipamento bem pesado, o que mostra que é resistente e durará muito tempo. Melhor investimento que fiz pro meu ateliê de costura. Veio numa caixa de madeira que mostra respeito da marca com seus clientes. Perfeito!!!

Very heavy, I didn’t check the weight before I bought it. But works like a dream, very easy to use. Extremely sturdy and will last the test of time.

It is OK.

Very solid construction and easy to use.
