Norton Presses were acquired by James W Shenton many years ago and we have been fully manufacturing the complete range of presses and spares ever since. Norton presses are supplied in 2 basic ranges:

      Flypresses        - have a screw and balance weights to drive the ram. 

Arbor Presses   - have a rack and pinion

The fly press range comprises 5 variants

1. Standard - a press with evenly proportioned throat depth and height
2. Deep Throat - has an increased centre to back dimension for accommodating wide jobs
3. Tall - has a greater base to guide height
4. Bar - uses a narrow bar rather than a traditional base plate to support jobs while pressing
5. Foot - Foot operated press allowing 'hands free' operation

These presses are supplied complete with false bottom, clamps, square head bolts, nuts and washers.

The Arbor press is a much simpler design and is used in applications not requiring the pressures available from the Fly Press range. The basic design is similar for all arbor presses.

• Cheap to purchase and operate
