In this video, we’ll demonstrate how to use the Sailrite® HandyPress® with vent grommet dies from C.S. Osborne. These three-piece die sets include a cutter to make the hole for the vent grommet, as well as upper and lower dies to install it. Set the desired compression on the HandyPress by raising or lowering the upper shaft. Once it is set to your preference no further adjustments are required. Using the HandyPress, combined with these dies, it will consistently punch a hole and then set the vent grommet in your fabric application with a simple and easy pull of the hand lever. We call that process the "Sweet Spot" compression, similar to how a set of Vice-Grips™ work. Watch this how-to video to learn the best practices for using these two-step vent grommet die sets with the HandyPress.
