- What button sizes does it make?
- Listings show 1.5-inch and 1.837-inch sizes. Each size needs its own die, so confirm which die comes with the press before buying.
- Does it come with button parts?
- Usually not. Button shells, backs and mylar covers are bought separately in bulk, and the press is just the machine.
- Can it make pin-back and magnet buttons?
- Yes, with the right button parts. The same press handles pin-backs, magnets and keychains as long as you use matching-size components.
- Why is only one store selling it new?
- Tecre sells mainly through its own channels and a few craft suppliers, so new listings are sparse and prices rarely compete.
- When is the best time to buy?
- Craft-supply sales around holidays are the usual window. With a single new listing, there is little to wait for.
- Is it worth the money?
- Only if you make buttons regularly. For occasional crafts, a plastic hobby press costs far less; for steady production, the metal build pays off.
- Where is the Tecre Button Maker Machine cheapest?
