Barth Multipress RP3001 with clamps and casework supports [Seattle area]
I saw the mention by my friend Dave. ?I would not say you will kick yourself later if you sell it ..... assuming you do not or will not use it and think you are better off using the space in a better way. ?I think if you really do not use something, you should sell it (ideal), donate, give away, or throw. away. ?Space has value! ?Even if you find a clever way to position the unit and store things behind it, that does not matter if you do not find value in keeping it.
?
Now, as for use, it is mentioned that it was once used for large cabinet and case work, but not really being used that way at this time. ?It is certainly setup for gluing large boxes as pictured. ?The usefulness depends on how it is used. ?If I were to only use it for a rare large box, I would not want to have one either.
?
However, I use mine often as my main use is for gluing boards together where I do not need depth. ?It could be for drawer parts when one board is not wide enough (often the case), or a panel door, or a face frame, or a table top. ?Super easy and fast! ?The attachments for large boxes are stored behind the multiples most of the time.
?
I attached a couple of pictures of how I use the space in the back of the multipress, and along the back wall behind the muitipress. ?By not having it backed up against a wall or garage door, true, I lose some space in front of the press. ?However, I gain a LOT of storage both in the back of the unit and behind the unit while just allowing enough room to walk behind the multipress.
?
My unit has the perforating plate. ?I do not use that with the clamps. ?If I had a much longer multipress, I would or if I had different applications I would. ? If anyone wants up to 4 of these unused clamps at a price way below new, please let me know (see attached). ?As an FYI, they can be adapted to use on the Barth vacuum table and I believe they can be used with the 20mm perforated Festool top with these
?
?
I have these clamps for my Barth Bench. ?They are great. ?I just do not use more than a couple at a time on the bench and do not need the extras.

Anil, ? I was thinking about buying?a 500V.? Curious how you think the build quality isn't as robust as it used to be? Thanks Dave Davies On Sat, Apr 5, 2025 at 2:10?AM Anil via <anil00=[email protected]> wrote:

开云体育Just be aware that the multipress is not rigid enough to be moved on a regular basis. It loses calibration alarmingly quickly. I have the mobility kit but no longer move the press because of the calibration issues. ? I love my press very much. But it has limitations. ? Warm regards, Lucky ?

Includes:

In excellent, almost unused condition.
?
Asking $14500 picked up in Seattle area.? I will likely regret it as it will be super expensive if I ever want to re-acquire it!? As much as I want to keep it, I'm finding that I'm not doing as much of large cabinet and case work that I thought I would.? May be someone can put it to much better use.
