Handy Presses

Created specifically for diecutting and embossing business cards, short production runs, die testing, knife & punch testing, machine loading and a multitude of other uses, the Handy Press is one unique, hand-operated platen press that every diemaker and diecutter should have. Bar-Plate’s Handy Press makes quick print operations a breeze!
Hard-tempered, ground and polished cutting and backup plates make the Handy Press able to stand up to rugged use, ensuring a long life. Made of anodized aluminum and plated steel, this machine is virtually maintenance-free; occasional lubrication is all it needs. Replacement cutting and backup plates are readily available.

Makeready time for the Handy Press is minimal and much simpler than that for a standard size platen press. An eccentric shaft controls the pressure and provides the mechanical advantage, making this press so easy to operate.
Plans are underway to increase the size of the Handy Press and to air-actuate it. Give us a call for availability.

MA III Swing Arm Presses

The MA Series III Swing Arm Press can perform many different types of diecutting with traditional steel rule dies and clicker dies.The MA III Press has been used for leather, embroidery, badge cutting, magnetic cards, coasters, small plastic shapes, card stock, cloth accessories, straps and belt ends, key fobs, clothing, rubber, cork, plastic, wood and felt products, just to name a few.


The MA III is a ruggedly-built cutting press with a cam-actuated mechanical advantage that makes operation very easy. The swing arm operation provides a clear view and requires little effort. And once it has been used for "into" diecutting, additional makeready is not required.


The 8" x 8" upper gusseted platen and the 9" x 11" cutting pad* give you the flexibility to run many different size dies. Stroke adjustment is simply a matter of turning the head screw in the desired direction.

Designed for "into-style" diecutting such as that used for leather, felt, saddlery, clothing, badges, cork, plastic, and composites.

Multiple layer cutting is simple with feed-through dies or clicker dies - the height of what is to be cut is determined by the substrate and the type and construction of the die. When odd or difficult shapes of die ejection material are required, the production die is taken and used on the MA Series III Swing Arm Press to cut the material to the exact shape of the die. This procedure can cut rubbering time by up to three-quarters.
