Complete, fully functional Chas. E. Francis Co. Sectional Screw Veneer Press manufactured in Rushville, Indiana. This is a rare, industrial-grade cold press perfect for traditional woodworking, architectural millwork, lutherie, or veneering.
Unlike modern vacuum setups, this heavy-duty cast-iron workhorse provides massive, uniform mechanical clamping pressure that is virtually indestructible.
Specifications & Details:
• Capacity: 93 inches (Length) x 40 inches (Width/Depth throat clearance)
• Condition: Excellent working condition. The frame is structurally perfect with no cracks or repairs in the cast iron.
• Components: Includes all original Acme manual screws and the directional ratchet mechanism. The screws turn freely and hold pressure perfectly.
• Origin: Features the authentic "Chas. E. Francis Co. Rushville, IND" foundry stamp.
Loading & Logistics:
• Location: Ground level access with a wide doorway. No stairs or tricky tight corners to navigate.
• Rigging: The unit can be completely disassembled into individual sectional arches and structural beams for transport.
• Assistance: I am happy to help the buyer with the disassembly process and assist with loading the components onto your truck or flatbed trailer.
Cash upon pickup. Buyer is responsible for bringing a vehicle capable of handling heavy machinery weight (estimated around 3,000–4,000 lbs total).
