Homemade Pen Press

[gregs4163]

Here's the Pen Press I just finished, the whole thing cost me $15 for the clamp and a piece of Delrin rod I scrounged from work and the rest was odds and ends I had lying around the shop. It's widely adjustable and works very well, quite pleased how it came out.

Looks good, what is the part that is sticking out of the delrin on the non-lever side? Is that removable?

 

[gregs4163]

Yes, Its removable I got the idea from the lathe press attachment that Craft Supplies sells, My wife bought me one for Christmas, it worked well but I didn't like the stress it puts on the tailstock

I'm gonna steal your idea! This is exactly what I have been looking for, and I can use the good parts of the Grizzly pen press that bent on first use. Good post!
