The gray cast iron structure (vs steel of smaller DP 1\/2\/3 models) provides maximum stability and resistance under high loads. With a usable workpiece height of 445 mm and an 800 mm adjustable lever, it handles operations that smaller manual presses cannot: straightening medium shafts, inserting\/extracting large bearings, assembling gears, broaching. The effective force of 1,560 kg is achieved with a manual effort of 60 kg on the lever, a lever ratio of over 25:1. The Ø 257 mm rotating plate with 4 openings (19, 28, 38, 68 mm) allows different components to pass through without changing equipment.

The cast steel of the DP 1\/2\/3 is correctly sized for their capacities (forces up to 1.3 t and heights up to 300 mm). For the D5 with greater forces and dimensions, cast iron provides thermal mass and rigidity that reduce micro-vibrations during precision operations such as shaft straightening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I really apply 1.5 tons with 60 kg of effort?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, that's the principle of the lever: with an 800 mm lever and the internal mechanical ratio of the rack, a manual effort of 60 kg is multiplied by over 25 on the rack. The effective force on the workpiece is 1,560 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lever-force ratio is a design characteristic of the press: a longer lever = greater force multiplication. The D5 with an 800 mm lever has the highest ratio in the DP range (26:1 ratio vs 19:1 for the DP 1 with a 350 mm lever). This allows a single operator to exert forces that would otherwise be impossible manually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes it need to be fixed to the workbench or can it be used freestanding?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt must be fixed to a robust workbench using the mounting holes in the base.

A light or unstable workbench makes the D5 inaccurate and potentially dangerous. The machine's 160 kg weight helps stability but does not replace mechanical fastening to the workbench.

For general workshops with various parts, the 135 mm height can be limiting. The price difference between DP1 and DP 2 is contained: for growing workshops, the DP 2 is strategically preferable as an investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I exert 1,140 kg with 60 kg of effort?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, that's the principle of the lever. With a 350 mm lever and the internal gear ratio of the rack, a manual effort of 60 kg multiplies by approximately 19 on the rack, reaching 1,140 kg of effective force on the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lever-force ratio is designed to generate forces adequate for the size of the workpieces. The DP1 with a 350 mm lever is the 'shortest' in the DP range: larger models have longer levers (D5 at 800 mm) to generate higher forces. For prolonged use, the 350 mm lever is also the most ergonomic for quick and repetitive movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes it need to be fixed to the workbench?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it must be fixed using the mounting holes in the base. Without fixing, the press lifts during the pressing operation, reducing precision and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFixing is particularly important on the DP1: its 11 kg weight is not enough to counteract the pressing reaction. Standard workbench fixing bolts are sufficient.

For thicker wires, the available force may be insufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWire bending requires dedicated equipment (forming curves) mounted on the spindle. The DP1 is a general-purpose tool: with suitable accessories (purchased separately), it lends itself to various bending, riveting, and straightening applications.

With a useful workpiece height of 190 mm and an effective force of 1,285 kg, it covers the vast majority of mechanical workshop operations: inserting\/extracting standard bearings, mounting bushings, straightening small shafts, bending wire, and light broaching. Its 30 kg weight provides adequate stability while remaining transportable by one person. The effective force of 1,285 kg is the highest in the DP range at a weight lower than the D5 (160 kg): an optimized force-to-weight ratio for everyday artisanal use. In Krollit customers' laboratories, it is the most frequent choice among manual rack and pinion presses for general workshops, maintenance departments, and artisanal laboratories working with standard-sized parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DP2 is the most balanced model in the DP family.

The DP2 has the highest effective force in the range under 50 kg in weight: the DP3 trades off workpiece height (300 mm) for lower force (1,181 kg), the lever-rack ratio is balanced differently. For the vast majority of general workshops, the DP2 is the correctly sized choice: 190 mm workpiece height covers standard bearings, bushings, and small shafts, 1,285 kg force handles most standard operations, 30 kg weight allows occasional repositioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLogistics and Krollit support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days to the South).

The effective force of 1,181 kg with a 500 mm lever is dimensioned for inserting\/extracting standard bearings and bushings, straightening medium shafts, bending thick wire, and light broaching. The Ø 185 mm rotary table with four openings (24, 28, 40 mm) handles components of various sizes without changing tooling. In Krollit customers' laboratories, it is chosen by mechanical workshops working on transmissions, engine and gearbox repairers, transmission component manufacturers, and maintenance workshops that regularly work on shafts and tall components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the DP family, the DP3 is the manual press for tall workpieces with intermediate dimensions. Below: DP1 (135 mm workpiece height, 11 kg) and DP2 (190 mm, 30 kg, superior force 1,285 kg). Above: D5 (445 mm, 160 kg cast iron, force 1,560 kg). The practical difference between DP3 and DP2: the DP3 sacrifices a bit of force (1,181 vs 1,285 kg) to offer an additional 110 mm of usable workpiece height. For workshops that primarily work on bearings on short shafts, the DP2 is more suitable: it has superior force with lower weight. For workshops that regularly work on tall workpieces (shafts, uprights, profiles), the DP3 is a must: the DP2 with its 190 mm usable height cannot accommodate them.
