Customer Reviews for Leather Cutting Machine Manual Die Cutter 280x140mm Leather Embossing Machine

Purchased this to help make leather jewelry and journals. The set up was a little involved as we had to get it level, but once it's was set, everything worked well.

Mine came assembled, love it. Heavy yes- like 60# approximately. I enjoy that I can adjust the height needed to press with. I have to keep retightening the nuts on the bottom - but loctite can fix that. Works well with all of my cutters and stamps. I would buy this again, if I need to.

This has made my leather projects go so much faster with such precision. Now I avoid my hand going sore when I’ve had to punch each hole by hand on a large project when in the past using striking force with a mallet so that is excellent as far as no more wear and tear on my hands. When I draw the handle forward towards me at the very end of bringing the handle down there is a noticeable swing the press makes just before the holes are punched that if I’m not very careful would misalign my holes for my stitches. That isn’t something I was prepared for. It’s a real process getting the bolts up or down to lift and lower the press with the provided wrench and time consuming like when I need to raise it to fit my hole punch. I’ve had the experience of the handle of the punch sliding out of place anfter I’ve tightened the Allen screw and I have to stop and retighten the Allen screw to make the punch stationary making an effective set of holes so that’s a bit of a bother. When I’ve used the press to make an impression with my brass logo makers mark it works like a dream leaving a nice crisp embossed impression.

I have always wanted a hand clicker but could not afford it. This machine has made cutting small items super easy. I would buy it again. 10 Stars.

Heavy duty and durable for years of use. I have used it several time so far and it is a must have for any leather shop. The price was right as well.

It is of excellent quality and easy to use. I used it to cut heavy leather 10cm without problems. The packaging was very secure, too. I recommend it to anyone who needs a good leather press at a fair price.

Quelle surprise à la réception du colis lorsque j'ai vu le livreur avoir du mal à porter la boîte de transport. Cette dernière était très secure et ma machine pèse en effet très très lourd. Je n'ose pas la poser sur mon bureau vu son poids. Je pense que c est plus de la fonte que de l aluminium, qualité allemande !!!!

This is a great product at a great price. Really good quality and sturdy. Easy to use and adjust. Highly recommend.

It took me a long time to make the decision to buy this piece of equipment, now that I have I'm glad I did. It works really well, very easy to use. It does require a minor setup. I do recommend it if your wanting to save some money.

First, this thing is HEAVY. I mean, REALLY HEAVY. Over 108 lbs (49 kgs). Solid steel construction and a whole lot of it. Second, you may have to align the cams on the top with the cam keys and the slots. I thought one of the cam keys was missing (2 little silver bit of metal that keys in the cam rotating top to force press plate down) but it had just fallen out of its slot and into the plastic bad wrap around the press. I found that a long solid screwdriver shaft useful to leverage to get some space between the spring-loaded press and the cam bar to get everything (the cams) in the proper slots and the cams seated with the cam keys properly. Third, I got this direct from VEVOR (faster shipment than Amazon; same price, same machine) and the FEDEX guy left it in a thin wooden shipping crate thing with weird origami-like metal latches on each edge to keep it together. I did get it from my front porch to my workshop by myself with fear, trepidation, and prayer (I'm a big guy), but I suggest you strong buddy lift this bad boy from wherever it gets dropped to where you want it to be. Fourth, the threaded posts on which the mechanism is supported are going to be loose and in need of adjustment. VEVOR does provide a huge wrench in the box with the handle (you may also need a second wrench to secure the bolts to the base) to adjust those monster bolts. Take your time and make sure there is no wobble and it's solid before trying to press/cut anything. Fifth, you're probably going to have to adjust the height of the press plate so that it fits what you're using the machine for. For me, I adjusted the height to allow for the cutting board (included if you don't have one), my leather die, and the leather to go easily under the press plate for ease of positioning. I just did a finer height adjustment of the plate this morning after spending a few days using it for better cutting operations. So, in closing, this thing works but is really HEAVY and will need some coarse and finer a
