Hey to all you Mighty Press Owners, I have a question for you about the machine.
I just received my brand new Mighty Press Manual machine and after having a Sunie Digital, I'm having trouble with the temp settings on this one. Not so much trouble, I guess, as not being familiar with the settings.
With the temp dial, where are the numbers (1-10) referenced to? Is that little screw in front of the dial the reference point?
If so, where do you set yours for different temps? I'm practicing with mine now, so I can get a chart put together for quick reference.
I have my dial turned where the 7.5 mark is directly lined up with the screw and it's giving me a temp of about 320 - 330 on the gauge.
I know what temps I need to achieve for my pressing, but not where to turn the dial to get them.
I hope this makes sense and I appreciate any info you can share with me!
I use a IR thermometer to set mine( I have a Hix). I just made marks for the different temps after I figured out where they were. This is only bad in the begining. After you get them figured out they won't change. I think these press' are great. The fact they don't have any digital readout or temp control to burn out makes me happy. Good luck, I'm sure you will find this to be a much better press . ..... JB

Oh, I'm certainly not complaining, it's a minor inconvenience. I was just looking for a guide to get started with.

I'll post my chart when/if I get it done.
Thanks for the tips though!
I got my IR Thermometer at harbor Freight for $39.This is a great tool to have around the shop. .... JB
