Used BenchMaster Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

BenchMaster has been building mechanical presses since 1937, accumulating a record of more than 80,000 machines shipped to customers worldwide. The company traces its roots to the early 1940s as Duro Manufacturing Co. before formally becoming Benchmaster Manufacturing Co. in 1943 and relocating to Southern California. Today BenchMaster, Inc. operates out of Riverside, California, and continues to manufacture its presses proudly in the USA, maintaining a reputation for consistent quality and long service life that has made its machines fixtures in pressrooms for generations.

BenchMaster's core product line centers on gap frame mechanical presses, offered in open-back inclinable (OBI) and bench-mount configurations spanning 5 through 15 tons of capacity. The lineup includes well-known series and models such as the Series 50, the 150-series OBI presses, and pneumatic air-clutch and brake variants that provide partial-revolution clutch control compliant with OSHA power press standards. These presses are built for stamping, blanking, forming, notching, piercing, swaging, and terminal assembly operations, and BenchMaster can also supply complete press systems with light curtain guarding, stock feeds, and reels to suit nearly any pressroom layout.

BenchMaster presses serve a broad cross-section of manufacturing industries. Sheet metal fabricators, electronics and wire harness manufacturers, automotive component suppliers, appliance producers, and general metalworking shops all rely on BenchMaster OBI and gap frame presses for high-volume, repetitive punching and forming tasks. The machines' compact bench-top and floor-stand footprints make them especially popular in job shops and assembly operations where floor space is at a premium and quick die changes are essential.

On the used market, BenchMaster presses are consistently sought after for several reasons. Their all-mechanical, cast-frame construction is straightforward to inspect, service, and rebuild, and original replacement parts remain available directly from BenchMaster, Inc. The machines hold their dimensional accuracy well over decades of production use, and their simple drivetrain means lower maintenance costs compared to more complex press designs. Buyers searching for used BenchMaster presses and terminal presses frequently find that a well-maintained machine delivers production-ready performance at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.
