Workshop, awkward shapes

KSF 2: The deep-throat press for shapes that won’t sit flat

Some products refuse to sit flat: satchels with buckles, tote bags with gussets, wash bags with zips. The KSF 2 was built for exactly those jobs, with two set-up positions and a throat that extends from 260 mm to a cavernous 460 mm.

At the bench

Built for the work, not the brochure

Swap between the two table positions and the KSF 2 goes from stamping flat stock to reaching deep into a finished bag. The 60 mm impression clearance swallows thick seams, and the whole head assembly is machined in-house so pressure stays even across the die, strike after strike.

Perfect for
  • Tote & wash bags
  • Satchels & luggage
  • Finished leather goods
  • Awkward shapes
