there is another thread with the vid on because of the 'FORBIDDEN' problem

as a person who is more than one TP character and I used to own another character, have wrote a book which Terry did the intro to I say you cant have too much

internal spacer fitted to cylinder 2 and toolholder, also pipe couplings done.

on the power pack I have replaced the foot switch with one that has a center off position and swapped the connectors to the solenoid valve so the cylinder will go down when I put my foot down and up when I raise it, on the first test it was the other way round.

still need to finish the frame for cy 2 and add anti rotation to the rod and the limit switches but it is moving on a bit.

maybe some pix later

some new pix of cyl 2

still need to fix cylinder in place and add anti rotation bar / limit switches etc.

needs a little more under the table but most of the heavy bits are added and it is still less than cyl 1 in weight.

cylinder is extended at the moment and when retracted the toolholder goes slightly inside the plate under the cylinder, travel is about 3" 76mm, table is 6" 152mm wide, at a guess it is less than 24" 610mm tall.

hope to do a bit more on monday

Firstly those 'clamps ' are just the biscuit I have 4 of differing sizes and wish I had 4 of each!  dozens of g clamps and some very useful sash clamps but those are the 'go to' jobs.

The press is definitely 'getting there':D
