    Default An old clicking press

    I know its not a woodworking machine, but I hope that someone here might be able to point me in the direction of someone who would want this.

    It is a very old clicking press, used to cut out things like shoe soles by pressing a shaped knife into a sheet.

    Originally designed to be driven by a belt to an overhead shaft to a steam engine, it was retrofitted at some point with a platform for an electric motor, and 2 v-belts drove the original flat pulley.

    My parents used it in their business until a few years ago when a piece around the top broke. you can see the temporary vice grip repair in some of the pics.

    If anyone is interested or knows where I might find a forum full of people who are, let me know.

    Thanks!

    When you push down on the handle, the swing arm thumps down towards the table.

    Free, but you have to organise loading and transport.

    A forklift will probably be required.
