The Mini Brute is Hammerhead Industrial’s compact powerhouse for small-format leather embossing and precision die cutting. With a 40-ton hydraulic press and a focused 300x300mm work area, this machine is ideal for prototyping, light production runs, or high-detail applications.

The Mini Brute comes standard with a heated platen, allowing operators to emboss, plate, or finish materials with consistent heat and pressure. Want to use it cold for cutting puzzles, chipboard, or foam? No problem. Just dial the temperature down, and it's ready to run as a non-heated die cutter.
