If you have a Harbor Freight in your area they have one that I have for a good deal. http://t.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=Press

According to what I have read you need a hydrolic press that is at least a 10-ton to use the pancake dies.

Kevin Potter at PotterUSA makes fabulous hydraulic presses. I have his medium and it cuts pancake dies beautifully. I started on one from Harbor Freight and it worked well for small pancake dies and silhouette dies. I bought the PotterUSA press because I wanted to start doing more and bigger things.

Kevin makes them himself at his Arizona site. The coolest thing is you can do lay-by!!

Check out his site at potterusa.com.
