> I just got a screw press !
> I have been looking for one for quite a while (for cheap ) and I found one
on e-bay its an Adams brothers 2-a
> I've looked at lots of  information about making tooling on the internet
and yesterday I made my tool holder that fits into the ram or business end
of the machine
> this press has a 1" hole into the machine and my tool holder has a 5/8
hole to receive tools.
>  have a few questions.
> When designing tools should I be in the middle of the travel of the press
or the bottom?it seems that if im in the middle I will have to have a thick
plate at the bottom under the material I am working
> also there is on the stand at the bottom on both sides some kind of
bracket cast into the stand  any ideas what this is for?
> Any other tips will be greatly appreciated! especially if they are cheap.
