Quick-Form Press
The Quick-Form Press, invented in 2022 by Kevin Potter, combines the power of a kick-press with the ease of use of a hand-operated arbor press. The key to how this press operates is the cam. Unlike an arbor press, which has a linear force that limits the amount of pressure possible, the Quick-Form Press utilizes a cam that allows you to exert maximum force with minimal effort! Whether you're bending rings, cuff bracelets, napkin holders, or silverware, this all-in-one press provides a wide range of tooling for forming metal without the use of a hydraulic press. See the full description for all the details! The price Includes a $75 Domestic Shipping credit to the Continental US, Alaska and Hawaii. International orders will require additional shipping charges. Please call if you require a shipping quote in advance of your order.
Quick Form Presses have been very popular and we are accepting orders for our upcoming production. Our current estimate for these units to be shipped is 2 to 4 weeks. Feel free to place an order and get your place in 'line', but understand that we will be making and shipping the presses as fast as we can. -- Thanks! The Potter Crew
