THIS project JoeC just came up with.
My mission here is to take that example and improve it.
What I have came up with in the last few hours is adding a way to raise the die sim after the block had been aligned. So basically you get it all aligned and then you crank a nut or whatever to a point of predetermined pressure. That way your not trying to align the die sim to the block WHILE trying to achieve that pressure which is what I think JoeC is doing now.
I think I have a rough idea how to do this, but it just isn't clicking all together in my head yet. In fact it might not be possible. I will try and explain it when I get home tonight.
As for now I would like to hear any suggestions on what you think might improve it. Remember it isn't just about pressure, but also (and more importantly) alignment.
One thing I will throw out there now. Would it be better to go with the 4 corner adjustment he has now (The lower one with the black knobs), or would it be better to go from the middle of each side such as a + sign. It almost seems to me it would be easier to go from the middle of each side instead of the 4 corners..
