Dan, did you order the electric or manual model?

For my use I figured the manual was fine;)

Josh, David, thanks, that's great to know, last I looked the X Press was like $700..ouch!

Roger.

That's likely what I'll be ordering as well.

yeah, Rob, insane. I thought about taking my welder and building one, but the bowmender works too well for as much as I use it.

Rob, the bracketts from Apple look like the fingers of this EZ Press except it's a one piece unit for each limb. They slide right under the press rollers. I'm not sure, but they aren't cheap.. I think something like $50 a pair.

I was going to say build your own, it's not difficult to figure out. This press takes it to a level of easy even I didn't think about. It's a bar clamp on a stand. The only reason I can think of for not seeing it must be because all the other stands pull a bow down.

Thanks for the picture. They charge a lot for this! Got to be some country boys, ya know them slow witted guys. I see their Alabam'ns. Stupid me, I even used bar clamps to build my last press out of some wild cherry and oak. I've got an excuss though, I was born in the city and didn't make it out during the early impressional years.:D


Lot of dead ends trying to find info on them though. That can't be good.

Just looking at it though,I don't like the way the cams are covered by the clamps. It also is pressing a hoyt in an unrecommended fashion, at least based on the pressing info I have. It's a couple years old though. Things most likely have changed with the new styles. Then again it's not really pressing it at all.
