The rubber cords are what helps to balance the assembly out while there is not a bow in the press, otherwise it will fall to one side (motor side), it's very stable without a bow in it

Here's a pic with my Allegiance in it

Here's another look I'm waiting on the switch so I just manually advanced the lead screw to hold the bow.

That looks like a great design and I like the fact that there are no bottle jacks to have seals break on (happened to me), and ratchet straps to mess with.

Looks a lot like an electric motor off of a snowplow, mounted to some sort of flange that I'm assuming turns the threaded rod and draws the arms in towards each other. Very nifty.

How does it get power? Plug it into the wall, or your car?

Edit - what drives the rod to turn? Chain? Gears?

That motor sure looks alot like a starter...

Very impressive WWAG... what kind of cost is associated w/ this press? Getting ready to a press and this may be the 1 for me.
