Mounting
The pen press can be mounted horizontally or vertically. If you intend to use the press for portable applications, mount it to a heavy metal or wood base (at least 1" thick) that is wide enough to prevent tipping or rocking during use, then clamp it to a workbench or table. If space is limited, secure the base of the pen press to a flat surface with a C-clamp.
