Embossing and diecutting press option for education?

[hkellogg]

[h=3]I came across a Heidelberg KSBA Cylinder 18" X 22 1/2" that sounded like it might be available for a reasonable price. It may need a bit of work but I believe it is good shape.

As I understand this is actually a two color letterpress? Would this be suitable for a teaching situation? The size and the safety is what peaks my interest over a clam shell press.

Thanks,

If it's a 2 colour it would be a KSBAZ
The K series are a good solid press I ran them for years in the 70's. For diecutting you will need to source a steel impression jacket
Safety features are not as advanced as modern presses, but safer than a clamshell press
