What is a press for a tree?
Wood processing uses different types of presses for different functions, the most common of which is pressing flat wooden parts for moulding products such as wooden countertops, some types of parquet or plywood. In addition, carpenters can also use wood moulding press (CPD) to make furniture and countertops. Another common use of presses in woodworking is the embossment of metal parts, which will be applied to products such as furniture, chests and doors. Wood presses are available in a variety of designs, including: cold presses, hydraulic cold presses, vacuum presses, vertical clamp presses, mini presses and side-loading presses, as well as presses of various sizes, including mini pods at the smaller end and industrial. The side-loading press pickers are suitable for the bigger side. Wood presses are useful for both small carpentry companies and large woodworking companies, with their variety of sizes making it easy to buy the right press in terms of work type, job boots and workplace.
Does it make sense to buy used presses?
As with other woodworking machines, two factors determine whether carpenters are considering buying used press pickers: the cost of a new press and the quality of assembly. However, the build quality of the press pickers is less important than that of most woodworking machines, as most press pickers are well-designed to perform heavy presses for many years, as opposed to home or commercial work. As for the price, the bigger the press, the more it costs and the greater the performance of the press it usually offers. In the case of large press pickers, buying a used one is usually an important consideration, especially given the durability of the press. If you properly assess the reliability and effectiveness of the used press picker, buying a used press picker will almost always be a smart decision.
How do you assess the quality of presses used?
In order to be able to properly assess the quality of a used press, it helps to follow a four-part process that is useful for evaluating the quality of almost all industrial woodworking machines used. Step one is to only consider buying presses from professional sellers of used woodworking machines, since amateur vendors (e.g. EBay merchants and corporate auctions) rarely have a knowledgeable idea of the value of a machine in relation to wear and tear. Step two is to check a seller’s reputation at the Better Business Bureau and avoid sellers who have unresolved customer complaints. Step three is to request a copy of a press’s official maintenance report to ensure that it is kept regularly. Step four is to inspect the press firsthand to observe the overall wear and tear, or to have an expert third party carry out the inspection. Following these steps should lead you to a press that offers new machine quality at a used machine price
