Gauge / Lay Pins |
A big change is coming to the gage pin world for hand fed platen presses.. We are now stocking the first runs of a replacement "Adjustable Quad Guide." Ever since Butch Kort stopped making his gage pins some 9 years ago, there has been a need for the quad guides. They are almost identical in every respect to the Kort Quad Guides. Priced at $35.00 for a set of three, we need to limit the first orders to two sets of the guides. We are excited about the new gage pins and welcome back comments about your use. Lay pins for the Heidelberg platen are still being made. And we are about to see a return of the Magill Spring Tongue Gauge Pin. The machines were sold at auction some years ago and have been sitting in my backyard ever since. Now, in May of 2025, the machines have found a new owner who picked them up with an eventual new home in Utah. Considering the years of sitting out in the open through all sorts of weather, the stamping presses looked presentable and everything moved. The new owner is both a letterpress printer and a machinist. This is an exciting turn of events. |
