2 Ton Tabletop Hand Die Cutter Press Machine is the Gerson GMB Series Tabletop Cutting Press, when configured for 2 tons of maximum cutting force, is a robust and precise manual die-cutting machine designed for small to medium-scale production of leather patches and other non-metallic materials. Unlike larger hydraulic industrial presses, the GMB series emphasizes user control and compact design, making it ideal for workshops, crafters, and businesses requiring controlled, accurate cuts on a benchtop.
2 Ton Tabletop Hand Die Cutter Press Machine
Key Characteristics and Specifications (for a 2-Ton GMB variant):
Operation: Primarily manual, with the cutting speed directly controlled by the operator’s hand. This allows for excellent tactile feedback and precision, particularly for intricate or delicate materials.
Cutting Force: Capable of exerting a maximum force of 2 tons (approximately 18 KN). This specific tonnage is suitable for cutting a wide range of materials, including:
Thin to medium-weight leathers (e.g., up to 5-7 oz / 2.0-2.8mm, depending on die complexity)
Various fabrics and textiles
Paper, cardstock, and thin cardboard
Foam, rubber, and thin plastics
It’s an excellent choice for leather patches, key fobs, small accessories, and prototyping.

Design & Size (Tabletop Focus):
Net Weight (N.W.): Typically ranges from 20 Kgs to 200 Kgs, depending on the specific GMB model’s build and upper beam/table size. A 2-ton tabletop version would likely be on the lighter end but still substantial for stability.
Cutting Table Size: Varies, but for a tabletop press, common sizes would be in the range of 200x100mm to 500x500mm. This determines the maximum dimension of material you can process.
Upper Beam Size: Correspondingly ranges from 200x100mm to 500x500mm, defining the area where the die is pressed.
Adjustability:
Adjustable Stroke: Offers flexibility from 12mm up to 50mm or more, allowing the operator to fine-tune the cutting depth and accommodate different die heights.
Tension Distance (Daylight Opening): Provides ample vertical clearance from 10mm to 100mm or more, facilitating easy placement of dies and stacked materials.

Maximum Cutting Force
Selectable Options: 0.5 Ton, 1 Ton, 2 Ton, 3 Ton, 4 Ton, 5 Ton
This is a key feature, allowing users to choose the appropriate force for their specific materials and dies. Ensures versatility for various tasks.
Operation Type
Manual (Hand-Operated)
Confirmed by “Cutting speed based on your hand.” Provides precise control for small batches and intricate work.
Cutting Speed
Based on Your Hand (Manual Operation)
The speed of cutting is controlled directly by the operator’s pace and effort.
Adjustable Stroke
12mm to 50mm or more
Allows fine-tuning of the cutting head’s travel distance to accommodate different die heights and material thicknesses efficiently.
Tension Distance (Daylight Opening)
10mm to 100mm or more
This is the maximum vertical clearance between the upper beam and the cutting table. Crucial for inserting dies and layered materials.
Upper Beam Size
Varies: 200x100mm to 500x500mm
The dimensions of the pressing platen. Determines the maximum size of a single die that can be used effectively.
Cutting Table Size
Varies: 200x100mm to 1000x800mm
The usable surface area where the material and die are placed. Corresponds to the maximum material size that can be processed.
Net Weight (N.W.)
Varies: 20 Kgs to 200 Kgs
The weight range suggests models from truly portable tabletop units to more substantial bench-mounted or compact floor-standing versions.
Material Compatibility
Designed for cutting various non-metallic materials, especially suitable for thinner leathers, fabrics, paper, cardstock, small plastics, foam, etc. within its tonnage limits.
The lower tonnage options are best for lighter materials; higher tonnage options (up to 5 tons) can handle moderately thicker leathers.
Typical Applications
Leather patches, small leather goods (keychains, earrings, wallets), gaskets, small fabric cutouts, paper crafts, prototypes, low-volume production.
Ideal for crafters, small businesses, prototyping, or specialized cutting tasks where precision and controlled force are key.
