Any idea what that plate is on either side of the base each with three screws?

Re: Tried and tested methods of getting stubborn nuts off Reply #33 – February 28, 2022, 09:05:52 PM 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. Last Edit: February 28, 2022, 09:07:28 PM by PWardy

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 Last Edit: February 28, 2022, 09:23:17 PM by PWardy
