The press measures 16" x11" x 14" . It opens to a distance of 7"  which is enough space to press several thick books simultaneously. The pressing bed measures 12" by 11 1/4" and can accommodate books up to 12" wide between the posts. This press functions both vertically and horizontally giving it the advantages of both a standing and lying press for great versatility, something cast iron presses can't do. The edges on one side of the press are rounded providing some of the function of a finishing press as well.The 12" screw on this press  features a heavy- duty  acme thread which allows for much more pressing strength and a much smoother movement than a normally threaded screw. This is the same type of threading used in bench vises.  The press has been finished with multiple coats of a hand rubbed finish for long lasting durability and beauty. This is a very reasonably priced press of exceptional quality. I'm an amateur bookbinder and I have been using an identical press for several years with fantastic results. But don't take my word for it, shop around and take a look at the other presses available on Ebay and from professional bookbinding suppliers. I'm confident that you will realize what a fantastic deal you are getting with this press.I MAKE THESE PRESSES BY HAND SO SHIPPING WILL BE DELAYED 7-10 DAYS.
