AUTO WARS 2 - Screen Holders - Videos Only
« on: February 09, 2012, 07:20:23 PM »
This is the second AUTO WAR post. This is all about how your screen holders work. I know it’s such a small part of an auto press. I think it will be nice to see all the options. I hope you guys are liking these posts. They don't take very long to make. If you have a press with another option in screen holders please make a video of you putting a screen in your press. Thanks for everyone that is making the videos.

Feel free to comment on the videos and ask questions.

Hey glad you like them. I remember a few months back you wanted me to do a video of my MHM up close and personal. Sorry it took this long. I am also very interested in seeing the rest of the presses. I know how mine works, I have no idea how others work. I have seen them at the shows and talked to people about them but you never get to see how they really work. I am trying to make this AUTO WARS series about things on the presses you use many times every day. I think that is how you should really judge a press.

You can use any screen that any other press can. They make a adapter that goes on the retentionable screens. There are a lot of MHM guys using Newman’s.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Very much digging these post.

I have limited exposure to the industry where I am so this helps me get a insight into various gear.  Dallas show is like 6 hours and the only thing relatively close (2 hours) is the SGIA (sp) show which isn't as big in this type of gear.

Keep them coming,  I'm learning!

very cool! I like the simplicity of getting the screen in. With the MHM you have to line up the back, than push it in, move the front of the screen up, line up the front and then set it in. Definitely much easier on the RPM.

Hey Pierre!

Yes, it's up and running....finally! haha My phone camera is toast (I dropped the phone in a bucket of water last week). When I get a new phone I'll shoot some videos and join in on the fun here!

Here is a crappy videos I shot when i got the press going. Definitely nothing impressive. It was more to test uploading a video to you tube. http://youtu.be/gjTbKBtmK3I
