MP1K - Desktop glove break-in machine.
The MP1K is a compact, desktop glove break-in machine designed by the same team behind the industry-leading DR3K. Built with the individual player, hobbyist, or small shop in mind, the MP1K delivers professional-grade results without the heavy requirements of larger industrial units.
Powered pneumatically, the MP1K operates using a standard 110V outlet and a small air compressor—making it accessible and easy to run in nearly any setting.
Despite its smaller footprint, the MP1K is engineered with the same high standards of durability and performance as our commercial-grade machines.
Constructed from fully welded 3/16-inch steel and reinforced with a 1/4-inch base, the MP1K is built to withstand years of use.
Includes
Light bracket with adjustable lights for illuminating the work area
Filter / Regulator
Electric foot pedal
Rubber feet
Fast pneumatic action
Acetyl copolymer pounding head (non-marring)
Powder coat finish
We spared no expense in its design, ensuring that it comes equipped with premium features and the rugged build quality you would expect from a professional glove break-in system. Whether you’re a serious player looking to break in your glove the right way, a coach managing multiple gloves, or a shop wanting to offer break-in services, the MP1K brings professional performance to a desktop-sized package.
What’s included
Single-stage air filter/regulator, mounted on the machine
Adjustable work lights with light bracket
Electric foot pedal
Rubber feet
Acetal copolymer pounding head
Clean air helps protect your pneumatic components
The included, machine-mounted filter/regulator helps filter the incoming compressed air and lets you adjust operating pressure. Clean, dry air is essential to pneumatic component life. Maintain the filter and drain your compressor regularly. In humid environments or systems with heavy moisture, additional moisture control at the compressor—such as extra filtration or an air dryer—may be needed.
What you’ll need
110v air compressor (built to run off a small compressor).
Grounded 3-wire (three-prong) 120V extension cord with a standard NEMA 5-15 plug and receptacle to connect to the control panel.
Air hose with a 1/4-inch Industrial/M-style female quick-connect coupler to connect to the machine’s supplied male air fitting.
Buyer FAQ
Will it work with my compressor?
The MP1K was designed for smaller compressors and uses less air than the DR3K. Compressor airflow and how continuously you work still matter. Send us your compressor model and expected workload so we can help check compatibility.
How long does breaking in a glove take?
Break-in time varies with the glove, its starting stiffness, the operator’s technique, and the desired feel. The MP1K provides fast pneumatic action while you position and work the glove; there is no single time that fits every glove.
Can I control the force?
Yes. Adjustable air pressure lets you control the force applied to the glove. The MP1K produces approximately 250 lb of applied force at 80 PSI. Lower pressure reduces force so you can tailor the process to the glove.
Do I need oils, steam, or other treatments?
No oils, steam, or additional treatments are required to use the machine. The break-in process works the glove mechanically. Any optional leather-care products are a separate choice.
What happens when a component wears out?
The fully welded steel foundation is built for the long haul, with replaceable bolt-on working components. You can repair the machine yourself or use a technician. We can supply repair parts, and components such as the control panel can be sent to us for service without shipping the entire machine. See our Warranty & Service page for coverage and service details.
How does delivery and setup work?
The MP1K ships in protective packaging. You’ll need a suitable compressor, an air hose with a 1/4-inch Industrial/M-style female coupler, and a grounded three-prong 120V extension cord.
