Arbor press quick adjust handle mod

[pcrov]

I've seen a lot of people grind off the bottom two teeth in order to adjust the handle - raise it all the way up and let it ratchet. Better, in my opinion, is a bump stop:

Keep all your teeth and the ram can be in any position when you reposition the handle. Make it out of anything (I made this one out of a failed print,) drill and tap to bolt it on.

That seems like a good idea to me. I like it.

I've seen this before, thought it was a standard thing, and even after purchasing 3, still don't have any with it.

Thanks for bringing it back to mind.
