The Kudos Press
The Kudos Etching Press is my Modular design and like the studio range, gives this press quality. State of the art composite bed. Heavy duty ball bearings used on all shafts. The standard model is fitted with a crank handle. A Steel Rimwheel is an option , it has four spokes and dished for comfort. Finished in a powder coated paint , graphite in colour. For Steel wheel option add £120 to grid price. Fitted with high ratio gears at 5 to 1 this press is very easy to use.The rule of thumb for gear ratio’s is the higher the ratio the easier it is to use. For example a 5 :1 ratio is five times easier to use than a direct drive press but with energy nothing is free so you have to turn the handle five times more.
Indexable adjusting ‘Easi-set’ handles for easier setup. Support rollers for security when the bed is extended.
Holes are provided in the feet for fastening to a bench. Stainless steel rollers are an option for those damp locations. See roller options in the menu.
The Kudos Etching Press is a sophisticated bench press. Purchased with a Rim Wheel and its probably the best bench press on the UK market.
