[TheForge] Kick Press

[Bob Ehrenberger]

Jay,

I have a follow up question.  How tall is the base that comes with the 
press?  Do you want it so the kick arm just miss the floor? or does it have 
quite a bit of clearance so the work table is at a standard height? Do you 
usually sit down to use it, or can you work it standing up?

The kick arm on mine is about 26" from the bottom of the press.

Bob, I have two kick presses. Both have their own cast iron base. They
are indeed very useful for lots of things. In some ways I prefer them to
a fly press because you have booth hands free to hold the work and or
tooling.
