412937 2005-12-15 07:38:00 I have a pneumatic press which doesn't hold things down as well as I would like,
It has been suggested that setting to have a short stroke will give more umph than a long stroke,anybody got the good oil on such matters?

412938 2005-12-15 07:51:00 You will need to provide more info Cic. Describe the press and how it works, presumably it uses a pneumatic cylinder, and what the operating pressure is.

Generally if you want more force, higher pressure and/or a bigger diameter cylinder, but more info to give a reasoned answer.

Yes Ter,it is a cylinder that hold wood down on a slot mortiser,my compressor is set to a 100 psi.
It was said that if I set the thing say 20 mm above wood and then flick switch it would be better than if I set say 50mm above wood b4 flicking switch.
I really want to maximise what I have.

412940 2005-12-15 08:49:00 the height won't make any difference. reealy you need to change the cylinder or set up levers which can make better use of the longer throw. tweak'e (69)
