RS PRO Knee lever hand press

Press for manual switching. Knee lever hand press designed for tasks requiring light to medium force, such as shaping, bending, riveting, marking, punching, and joining. Made from ductile cast iron and mounted for precise tool alignment at the base. An adjustable pin at the back of the frame allows the tipping mechanism to be stopped before reaching the "on-centre" position for quick reset and smooth operation, or before reaching the "over-centre" position to hold the workpiece under pressure. Cost-effective: makes the mounting of special tools on a range of presses economical and eliminates the expensive and time-consuming retooling of a single press. Optionally features two lever attachment positions for easy operation, with a recessed base for the use of special tools.
