Super rapid typeholders are self centring and accept type from 10pt to 36pt in 4 inch length only. The two jaws are centred when the right hand screw is turned to make side spacing unnecessary.

Continental style typeholders are light weight and similar in use to a flat pallet, suitable for type up to 18pt. They are supplied with three various sized spacers and will accept point sizes from 6pt on 8pt body up to 18pt.

Leather Paring Machine
Our leather paring machine is based on a tried and tested design and is simple to set up and operate. The leather is pulled between the anvil and fixed blade. By raising the anvil, thin cuts can be taken until the required thickness is achieved. It is an invaluable tool for quickly preparing inlays, onlays, labels and any thin leather pieces for repairs or half
and quarter bindings. The machine has a large throat area to accommodate the pared leather when preparing larger pieces for full leather bindings. The anvil can also be adjusted to produce a feathered edge if required.
