Atkins/Magic Touch/Xpres swing away press owners - help!

[arthur.daley]

Hi All

Would one of you who owns a 38 x 50 swing away press - an Atkins as sold by The Magic Touch and XPres, do me a favour?

I need to know what footprint they occupy on the bench when opened and closed - ie when closed the dimension from front to back and side to side from widest point to widest point which I suspect is from the tip of the foot to the tip of the other foot.

The I need the dimensions withthe press in the open position from the front edge to the furthest point back - that would now be far edge of the upper platten? The the dimension side to side from the tip of the foot to the far right hand edge of the upper platten.

I am trying to sort out the layout of my workshop BEFORE I unpack the new press - don't want to have to be lugging that around too much ;o)


regards

Closed 57cm wide x 77cm depth

Open so top platen is 90 degrees to base plate the width increases to 85cm

They will go back further but I can not open mine any further.
