Compound Lever Press, Functional Model

grabcad

This is a Compound Lever Press that can be constructed from simple 2x4 framing lumber. All hole locations are shown in the assembly drawing. Board lengths are contained in their file names. I used two feet of half-inch threaded rod (1/2-13), cut to length and secured with 1/2-13 nuts and washers for all four pivot points. The main body is held together with eight 5.5" 1/4-20 bolts or cut to length threaded rod and corresponding washers and nuts. Use 2.5-3" deck screws where needed.
