I am looking at the plans for the pneumatic press of Clair Davies. The = dimensions he gives are for a press big enough to do the biggest board = "he's" ever done. Is there any reason to make my press any larger? Terry, I know you have made modifications to yours. If I may ask, what = were they and why did you change them. Clair mentions his improvements = on this press over the one he made in the 80's. His reasons were for = speed and lack of redundant movements. Did you do the same, or were = your modifications done to accommodate available parts? It seems apparent on the surface that Clair is compression crowning. In = light of recent discussions on this matter, I am inclined to opt for rib = crowning. It just makes sense to me. Are there any modifications I = need to consider to make this press work in this fashion? Tooling up for this kind of work seems never ending. I've almost = completed my hot box for drying. I based my plans on Ron Overs design. = And I need to thank him again for going out of his way to help out a = fellow technician. Thanks Ron. Thanks list Mike Bratcher ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
