Product Description
This press is an arbor style press which uses the same 7mm, 4mm and 2mm die sets as are utilized with NATIONAL's Quick Press and Port-A-Press. By placing the press on a surface at desk top height, the operator's full upper body weight can be brought down on the press handle. Using the leverage of the handle, the pellet is formed from the pressure created on the die set by the application of force to the handle. The press weighs only 11 pounds and is easily moved around the lab. The components that contact the die set are stainless steel.
