Designed to meet the lower volume padding needs of a multi-faceted business, the Handy-Padder padding press provides a cost-effective, compact table-top padding device. To increase productivity, the three-part padding process has been simplified to eliminate extra steps; the self-locking swivel table features an eight degree tilt enabling self-aligned gravity sheet loading that means jogging is no longer a necessity. Once loading is complete, stock is secured by means of a clamping bar and self-locking, quick-release clamps. A convenient turn-style base with 360 degree rotation allows the operator to load, clamp, and pad from a single position. Turn the table around, remove the plate, and apply padding compound to the desired area. Capable of holding up to 16" of paper, the stability of this unit is enhanced by an extended metal stabilizer that prevents tipping when fully loaded. The Handy-Padder is a heavy-duty, all steel construction padding press that fits onto any table or work station and allows each step to be completed in one single setting.
