This is good info to me, in the spirit of the list I will reciprocate on=20
knocking out a board. I recently used a set of three firestone brand air spr=
ings=20
(really just lengths   of highly reinforced hose,, NOT fire hose) linked in=20
series with a sensitive pressure regulator, all this strategically placed un=
der a=20
six grand board at belly rail, straight side and back curve, and I was able=20
to lift the whole board out in about five minutes with no damage. quite nice=
.=20
The Automotive plants call these things linear actuators and use them in lie=
u=20
of low power presses. A substitute would be possible I think, but not fire=20
hose. I am told it is too dangerous to use at these pressures, or mabye just=
=20
because it comes to us used already. This is one of my dumb ideas that actua=
lly=20
worked out.
