Leather cutting press 11x5.5, worth the money
This leather press worked great straight out of the box. I didn't have to adjust anything. I would recommend getting some various thickness of plastic sheets because different die heights, different thickness of leather will require it. This will save you from making the height adjustments on the machine itself. It's very heavy and works like a charm.
Leather cutter
I have af it for a few weeks. Really like the machine. Works great with my leather die cutters. Very heavy! I lifted myself but would have been a lot better with another pair of hands. Is very well constructed. There is no instruction manual so I had to go looking for setup instructions which wasn’t too hard to find. I highly recommend.
Uneven pressure for embossing.
I bought it to be able to emboss leather and leather-like book covers. It doesn't seem to apply even pressure and the adjustments are not intuitive. I have leveled all the screws and plates, and made sure all are equal. Still not getting even pressure across the plate at all. Not thrilled with the performance for my application
Artificer
Completely solid product. Well made, simple to set up, performs well and consistantly
Person
Works great. Much more heavily constructed than I expected. Very happy with it.
N/A
Perfect machine, heavy duty, no problems, shipped tight, nothing missing, very happy
Good deal but limited features
Pretty solid deal for the price but with some drawbacks. Vertical travel is adjustable by working the nuts from under the base plate. The pressure is not uniform because of the enlarged plastic orange plates. Anything directly below the main black pressure plate will emboss fine but outside of that surface, the pressure is less and embossing less pronounced. You can work around this by using a separate hard metal plate added between the orange plastic and your actual embossing dye. The feet have M8 screws so that's what you need if you want to secure it to the work table. Which you should do, because it tends to tip over when pressing. Max width that you can fit between the spring columns is
Very pleased for the price
Very happy with this press for the price. There is no comparable option in this price range, so I appreciate the low cost of entry for using clicker dies. Does take some patience and frequent adjustments to ensure even pressure and complete cutting.
Mr
It came quickly. It was as described. It was boxed up very well but there was damage to the box but the press was fine. There is an instruction book but it does not tell you anything about putting it together for adjusting. I had to watch a couple videos of other people with theirs to realize the cutting board was not attached with the four screws and that came with it. It works very well after I got it adjusted. I have no complaints.
Mr
14.2x10.2 Press is very solid & ridiculously heavy. Needed a press to repeatedly and consistently apply pressure in a vertical motion without side to side motion. Using with large 6”x5.5” top and bottom embossing plates for cardstock paper, if the press has any sideways movement, the plates would not line up and would become damaged . Needed to build a jig out of mdf for my purposes but the press performs the intended task incredibly well. There are only 3 minor issues that are probably not an issue for most users. First issue is that it weighs a little over 100 pounds. As such, you need a dedicated space to place it as it’s much too heavy to store away and bring out repeatedly. Second issue is that there’s very little vertical travel (approximately 5mm total) when you pull the lever to operate the press. For leather dies, where you have room to get your hand between the plates, to line things up, the vertical travel is likely just fine. I’m not using this for leather and a little more vertical travel would be a huge benefit. Third issue, the cardstock I’m working with requires the larger press in order to fit the paper between the 2 upright threaded posts. The upper press plate is…
Its a BEAST! Very Very GOOD!
If i could give this machine a "10" I would. At first I was VERY skeptical in ordering because of the reviews. Well, I am here to tell you that none of the issues that I read about even remotly pertain to this die cutting machine. I am nothing short of over the top happy with it. It came in a very heavy duty wood crate that took 2 UPS guys to unload. I have been cutting out in several thicknesses of leather and it is the BEAST! Better than I expected and I would deffinately reccomend it to you! I have received nothing for my review so it is a honest to goodness review. The price was a deal and because of the deal I was afraid that the machine would be a lot smaller and lighter in weight. But at near 100 pounds I can tell it is built to last me forever. Everything is durable and strong. Go ahead and give this machine a try. You willbe very impressed.
Industrial grade at bargain barn price
This machine more than met my expectations! It's heavy duty yet easy to operate and adjust. Smooth operation and well built. Shipped in a wooden crate and when I went to pick it up, I understood why. For this machine, the price was unbelievable. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. 🎉💯🎊
will not work with leather
Do not waste your money this "machine" will not do what the ad claims. Uneven pressure across plate and barely enough pressure to cut paper. TEMU unit at inflated price. Not useful in leather craft more suited for scrapbooking
Works ok
Works well, but wish there were adjustments availabke
mr
It seems to be a well-built machine but its lacking instructions for adjusting and use.
Ms
The knobs and lug nuts were so extremely tight, I’ve been unable to turn or loosen any of them with the wrench provided. So the device will not engage or do anything. I’m at a loss for what to do with this heavy device and I lost a lot of money on a device that doesn’t work. If there’s an associate or local store willing to make a house call, I would appreciate it.
Good quality
Very heavy machine, works well. You need to spend a bit of time assembling it, but overall it’s not to hard. Very easy to use it afterwards
100% recommend!
Rock solid! This thing is great. I moved it to the basement (should have gotten help - it's heavy) and uncrated the thing, took the poly cutting pad out of the bag and put a die in it, still on the floor. Made a half dozen very easy successful cuts with no adjustments needed! It's pretty solidly built. Maybe need to replace the bearings in a decade or two, other than that - zero maintenance! Will get it moved to the work bench and leveled with some calipers this weekend.
Like this press with the exception of one thing
This is the second press I have purchased. I use it daily in my business. The only complaint I have is the bolts on the underside of the bottom Metal plate come loose daily no matter How tight I tighten them. Frustrating!!!!!!
Craft Shop Owner
This is the best piece of equipment that I’ve purchased. Should have bought it a long time ago and save the frustrations of crooked leather when trying to do a project.
Leather Hobbiest
This is a perfect press for people on a budget that can't afford a clicker press. After adjusting to your task at hand it is almost effortless to stamp or cut leather with dyes. This was the best money spent on my part and it will last me a very long time do to the very excellent materials they have chose to build it with! Don't let the size fill you! It is build like a tank! Well done the brand!
Clicker press
Great machine works with very little effort. Good design.
Owner /Maker White Made Knives
It will not cut through 5-6 ounce leather and I use 6-7 ounce It cut about half of it but not all the way through the rest of it
Contstant issues
Bolts came rusted on, the cam came misaligned with the spring so it was lopsided, even when fixed it only depresses maybe (at best) 1/4 an inch, which means any dies have to have the machine manually tightened all the way down to actually cut through anything.
Leather cutting press
Really satisfied, works perfectly. Well packaged in small crate. Easy to adjust and align. Proper spacing for embossing and cutting dies makes it very easy to use, almost effortless. Thank You people at the brand for a great product. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Budapest
Brilliant tool for that price. Just ordered the bigger brother.
Hudák
The product is of very good quality, I am very happy that I bought it well.
Miss
hi I am very pleased with how quickley it was delivered and with the quality but I am very disappointed that it comes with no instructions of setting up and using I am new to this leather stamping and cutting so I was hoping there were instructions on setting up and using but sadly there was nothing at all in the box just the machine and the tools which I am now guessing what you do with them
Great Quality Product for a Great Deal
The brand is the place to shop for deals.
Cutting machine
It's very good, use full. I like it so much. I recommend to leather or fabric workers to have it, it's a small one. But it's useful
does what it should
takes a few tries to get used to it but works as it should
Misleading, not at all adjustable
Height not adjustable, pressure stroke not adjustable. It's a paper weight unless your dies/cutters are the exact right height. The term Maximum Pressure Stroke implies there is more than one...
Fantastic
Fantastic piece of kit that I use for leather cutting. Makes the job so much easier and quicker and this item is super high quality and easy to use and adjust . It does however weigh around 50kg which I like but it wasn't easy lifting it onto my workbench lol. 10/10
Mr
Great bit of kit, very easy to assemble. Very sturdy more than capable of job have used it successfully to stamp logo into leather
Amazing press for leather
This press is great. You have to work for even pressing but for the price it’s amazing! I would recommend this for anyone starting out!
User
Bought one to cut leather and astro-turf. It is remarkably easy to use and of nice quality. Would recommend for craftsmen and women of all experiences.
Mr
This is a beast weighing in at 55kg, the delivery driver was not happy having to lug this to my door, but what a great piece of kit. Mine came already adjusted for the thickness of leather die cutters but I imagine it is fairly straight forward to adjust anyway. I am so happy I found the brand for this purchase, as it was a huge amount less than so called named brands that are very similar to this one! Mine arrived in its own wooden crate and I cannot recommend it, or the brand, enough.
Ion
Very good, robust and good materials, easy to use I like it very much I will keep buying from the brand
Cutting machine
Works great for what I'm using it for! Cutting small quantitys. Definitely made my work a lot faster and efficient!
Ms
It's solid and well made, but it's much too small to do anything with. Only the smallest dies will fit in it. I find that my arbor press does a better job, and it's easier to use. Don't waste your money.
Clicker press
Awesome, a go go press for everything. Definately gas its place un the shop.works.wonders, Savès Time. Worth Every dollar
No Title
Great machine, wish it wasn't so expensive but everything quality is expensive. Only two issues. The locking pins for the rollers were loose in the package and I almost through one out as I found it on the floor before assembling the machine. The plastic bag had several holes it it so they were loose and I didn't recognize it before fully unpackaging it. I would recommend the manufacturer tape them in place or in it's own small bag. The "assembly instructions" are not assembly instructions and are just a small useless list of don'ts. I love it and it is working great!
Very pleased
I bought this to deboss leather pieces about the size of a drink coaster. I created an acrylic die using my laser engraver, then used the press to deboss the leather. Perfect results, and it sure beats trying to juggle multiple clamps and get the pressure even across the coaster. It is very heavy duty and does what it is supposed to do. Seems easy enough to adjust the height of the plate as well, once I got the idea of much spring compression I needed.
Mr.
Great little press. Perfect for small press knives. Built solid and works well. I used it a number of time since purchased. The only drawback is, I wish it had a little more stroke length for my slightly thicker press knives. Other than that it works really well.
Mrs
The initial positioning creates an unfavorable angle for the fulcrum, leading to discomfort and potential wrist strain. Also, the gap between the plates could be slightly increased to assist positioning of cutting plate and leather sheet.
owner of Simoncic Leather
the press worked as described, I am very happy with the quality and the way it performs. I have already put it into production and when the leather and cutting die are inserted on the press surface it cuts very easily. I have been letting everyone hear know about this new quality tool I have in my leather shop
Impressive product
The unit is very nice, it works great! The only issue that I had the female thread on lever bar was bent over, nothing that a small file could not rectify! Stamped out a 4x4 coaster in 8 to 9 ounce veg tan leather, it worked better than I could hope for! I look forward to using this a lot .
Mr
This is a robust and very precise die cutting press. Made out of solid steel parts and both ball bearings are top quality. All metal parts are protected by special powder coatings and machine operates on very simple method. I make professional leather hand bags and leather goods. This cutting press is very useful time saving tools. It will handle even 5-6mm thick veg tan leather if you have decent steel dies. machine is very easy to set up within 30 minutes. Once you have perfect level of true paralel between top plate and the base and than just press the handle down than you have made your perfect cut. I would highly recommend this machine to beginners and professionals. Actual cost of the machine makes it a must in any leather or craft workshop to save you a lot of time and will give you the precision. JuJu Bespoke Hand bags .

Great quality
Dommage
Reçu le 11/09/2026 mis en place temporaire et fait quelque essais bonne machine a l'air robuste et de bonne facture. Les réglages sont faciles se munir d'un niveau pour le réglage du plateau Plateau supérieur manque de niveau appuis irrégulier dommage. Comment le rectifier???? refait des essais et celà a l'air d'aller peux etre que j'ai mal mis l'emporte piéce ?
Bon produit
Pour une activité cuir temporaire c'est un outil efficace. La qualité sera a voir au fil de l'usage
Efficace, facile d'emploi
Génial, correspond à mes attentes pour découper du cuir pour mes création ! Efficace ! Elle fait son poids
M
Je suis plutôt déçu: Bien que la perforatrice soit plutôt lourde, et implique qu'elle soit faite de métal, la partie haute de la presse semble être faite de plastique, et est déformée d'usine, avec une courbure de plus de 1mm à son centre, ce qui est énorme à cette échelle. De plus, la surface Utile n'est pas de 18cm de large, mais de 14cm, car les 2 axes empiètent sur la plaque.
Presse manuelle xxl
Presse conforme à mon achat, le poids aussi ! Prévoir deux personnes pour la soulever. Malheureusement j'ai un pas de vis qui n'est pas droit, ça n'a pas l'air de gêner le réglage mais c'est dommage pour ce prix . La plaque blanche prend vite les marques des emportes pièces, je vais devoir trouver autre chose par la suite. Sinon elle fonctionne correctement autant pour la découpe que pour faire un marquage, d'une figurine par exemple, plus profond.
Prima
Na 2x levering werd dit toestel in een houten kist geleverd. Zeer vriendelijke vrouw aan telefoon voor levering af te spreken. Nu al een aantal keer het toestel gebruikt en werkt prima. Helaas zonder ook maar een handleiding. Dit zou echter beter kunnen. Je moet zelf naar filmpjes op Youtube zoeken hoe je de hoogte aanpast. Er worden ook nog vijzen meegeleverd, geen idee waarvoor deze nodig zijn. Voor de rest het oranje is een lelijke kleur, helaas helemaal in het zwart is deze grote niet meer verkrijgbaar.
