These have been discussed and written about several = times. Most recently, I think, by Clair Davies (sp?). Aside from the = fact that he recommends using far more air pressure than is either = required or advisable, this is a good place to start. I say "start" = because most everyone seems to want to modify these things to suit.=20 I started with a go-bar press back in the 70s but abandoned it after one = bar broke, starting a chain reaction that had bars going every which way = and damaging the soundboard panel enough that I ended up replacing it. = I've use a variety of air presses since then and would never go back. Two photos are attached.

I = am reasonably familiar with the go-bar type and have a proven design for = one but I want to look at both types. What are the known flaws/problems = related to pneumatic presses?
