Precision threads and rigid, linear action make the Rockler® Pen Press a pleasure to use for pressing pen parts together. With a quick-action clutch and sturdy build to minimize deflection under pressure, it works much like a miniature bar clamp. Nylon caps with center indents keep your pen perfectly positioned, and prevent any marring to the finish on your parts. The feet provide a stable, compact footprint, and holes let you mount it to a piece of plywood for further stability if desired.
