Shawn,You (other WH owners) need to add some grip tape to the bottom of your Work Horse back clamps. I make my clamps really tight but depending on how smooth the screens are they will move a little if your swinging the screens around hard. I put some grip tape (got it at Wal-Mart in the RV area its used for steps on RVs) it works great. I don't have to tighten the screens nearly as hard. Another thing you’re going to want to do is remove your wood pallets and put them back on with some epoxy on the smooth top part of the clamp and then put some epoxy on the screws and screw them back in. I did this about a year ago. Many times when you have a shirt that goes out of registration it’s the board that is loose not the screen (on the work horse press). I have perfect registration with mine now (even though I only use it 2 or 3 times a week now) and I even use auto screens on it with just the back clamps.I no longer have that issue since I went side clamps. That's a great tip for anyone using wood plattens. Still trying to justify dropping a grand on 6 from Action, a grand is a ton of DIY cut plattens out of MDF. I got an idea it`s a conspiracy man they make a nice press with shitty wooden palletsif you want aluminum call the other company, get itit`s a conspiracy to get more money out of industryjust my thought

A platten upgrade would be nice. For the record... is it "platten" or "pallet" I've heard this both ways.
