Update: See video. All better!!You can see my video for my full review. In short: This is an incredibly heavy, incredibly durable machine. It_ going to be a fantastic press: Once it works. :-(Out of the box, there was a small metal tab missing from the crankshaft that allows the bearing to turn and press the plate down. But since that bearing is not there, the entire plate comes down lopsided and at an angle. You can see it missing in my video.No instructions, which is fine. It_ simple enough to figure out how to assemble it. The screws are on there tight but you can loosen them with some elbow grease. It comes with a wrench that works for the screws. It also comes with a white press mat so you don_ damage your dies.Planning to contact the seller about the missing part. Will keep this updated.
