@PWardy I bought this bit of kit that makes supporting items easier in the press - well worth it




Did you get any instructions?  Any idea what that plate is on either side of the base each with three screws?

No instructions either and that plate confused me as well - seems to serve no purpose

Presume it's so it could be bolted/mounted to something

The only thing I came up with is turn them over and position them front and rear on the press. The jig can’t easily then fall off forwards and back or inside.

I’m coming to the conclusion they are setup as I suggested above but are a safety feature. If the jig is not setup correctly or a support fails the gig could be shot out of the press unless those plates are positioned to retain it
