Gritty's press is okay; for some things. I like to use it to serve. I used it when I went to install my strings/cables but it would not let my limbs fully relax. So I had to undo what I did and then had to use the bowmender, so the bow could fully relax. The pin holes? Yep, had the same problem.[:@] It's a decent benchtop press though.
Like I say, the bench needs some finishing touches but it's almost there. I want to find a good bow vise too. Thanks!
I don't want to hijack your thread too much, but do you notice the arms torquing a bit when pressing? I see you said you had an issue getting it to compress the limbs enough. I also had this issue, but after playing with pin locations, and moving the chain up one link it works, but I feel that when it pressed, it's torquing both the arms and the limbs.
No, the problem I had was after I took off the strings and cables; the press would not go out far enough for my bow to completely relax the limbs. I couldn't get my bow out of the press because it still had my bow pressed.
I think I've noticed the torquing of the arms but I didn't see where my limbs were being torqued. I might have not noticed though. I use the bowmender ten times as much as I do the Gritty.

LOL, good question. What you're actually seeing is the "home" workshop. Its a fine line.[8D]
