Hilldav Reduction Drive 24-48 with Stand and Castors

Hilldav Etching Press Reduction Drive 24-48 (With Stand & Castors) features a bed plate manufactured from Bakelite, a strong, durable, and lightweight black laminate, making it an excellent alternative to steel beds. The press also includes rollers made from heavy gauge machined steel, running on self-aligning ball bearings, with a high-quality machine finish on the top roller.

This Semi-Professional press is designed for serious print makers and comes with a stand and castors as standard. It is equipped with a gear reduction drive with a gear ratio of 3:1, a heavy-duty shaft, and bearings.

Gear reduction models like the Hilldav Etching Press Reduction Drive 24-48 use a roller chain from the hand wheel to the bottom roller, reducing the effort required to drive the bed through the rollers. The chain wraps around the sprocket, engaging with many teeth, thus reducing the load per tooth.

You can use this press with felt blankets ranging from 1.6mm to 4.8mm in thickness.
