I totally understand what you mean about pressmen. I supervised a long time and did a lot of training on various presses. I was the go to guy for many years and understand all the timing marks and settings. I hated it when pressmen tried to fix something and screwed it up and I didn't know what all they messed with. I have the press running OK but if I have to print any closed than 1/2 from gripper, I have to put on another press. If it rains this weekend I may give it a shot. Thanks for your info.
