Conrad presses resist twisting and tipping because of their base construction. It is a 16-gauge electrogalvanized sheet riveted together to form a sturdy box section extending to the full length at the bed plate.

For strength with minimum weight, the vertical frame is constructed of 1¼" (32 mm) square section high tensile aluminum. Height adjustment is maintained via a spring counter-balanced upper roll.

E18 Standard Press — Conrad's E18 Press has a planetary reduction drive to provide smooth and easy operation under the heaviest pressure.

Large counterbalanced upper roll, 4½" diameter
18¾" W × 36" L × ½" thick Benelex high density lignin-resin laminate bed plate
Shipping weight, 297 lbs
