Abstract—In an attempt to improve the accuracy and efficiency according to the requirement. No work is done in proper designing of special manual machine press machine, these days, rather rule of thumb prevails. To keep pace with company demands improvement in the design of the manual press is needed. So I worked to improve the designing of the machine for getting the best results by designing the balls of cast iron that provides appropriate pressure to stop fluctuation in size of components. The specific dimensions of the press machine is as Improvement in design of the manual small press machine for sheet metal job under 900mm2 area X 1mm thickness in stainless steel grade 304. Though in extreme case it can work even on 2.0 mm thick stainless steel of specified area, without any problem
