Hydraulic presses designed for jewelry makers and metalsmiths  are specifically sized for finer, more detailed work on small pieces of jewelry dies

By creatively combining and arranging the tooling in your press, you can quickly and smoothly achieve the shapes, bends and contours you have conceived for your designs. The creativity is all yours; it is realized using the incredible power of hydraulics right at your bench. So, what are the top 3 reasons to put this power to work in your shop?

1: Produce handmade work with production line efficiency.
Nothing replaces the feel of pieces created by hand; artists and jewelers take a rightful pride and satisfaction in work produced with their hands, knowing that a false move could destroy hours of painstaking work. And customers place greater value on pieces they know have been created with this kind of attention and skill.The hydraulic press does not deprive you—or your clientele—of this irreplaceable characteristic. It cannot design, imagine or execute any more than your cross-peen hammer can, but it can accomplish in minutes what would take exhausting hours and dozens of blows to achieve with a forming hammer. It simply puts literally tons of power into your hands to wield as your design demands.As a designer and a jeweler, you know that it takes a keen design sense, a deep knowledge of how metal behaves and precise eye/hand coordination to successfully bend metal to your will. The hydraulic press is simply another tool at your command, ready for you to use.

2: Create duplicate pieces flawlessly.
Once you know exactly how much pressure it takes and just how to position your metal to make the bend or curve you want, you can use the press to repeat that bend over and over again. Produce multiple beautifully matched pieces that are ready for whatever step your design needs next. When you want to produce quantities of a design you've created, the hydraulic press delivers the close control, repeatability, and efficiency that production work demands but with each piece hand-produced, hand-formed and hand-finished.

3: Save time & money.

Because you can achieve so much movement in your metal quickly and smoothly, you will save time not only in your production processes but also—and even more so—in your finishing processes.You'll spend far less time creating the bends, angles and contours you want for your designs and significantly less time smoothing and finishing the metal once it is formed. Instead, you can focus on bringing the design components together and completing the design—exactly as you've envisioned it.
