Was that the V2.5 as well Duke? or the older version?

@Dimas, is there a difference in the arch press between the two?

Hi Andrea! I will respond to your PM @ XS soon my friend.:thumbsup:

These tables are so incredibly clean looking and well designed. I love them!

The arch press looks the same to me bro. Seriously i tried to mount my pot for dice action and there was no way i could get the press to center on my pot. So i had to use the hardware that came with the pot.

the arch press of the V2.5 is littler couse the table itself it's also littler, probably when Duke it's trying to fix the Arch can't get in the right position couse holes distance are fixed, if some one got some suggestion to improve the ARCH press...

so you think we have to include also a Big base on top of Press to distribute better the load?

Instead of sloted holes what if the arch slid in a groove to eliminate fixed positioning laterally.

The arch slides this way across the top but not along the sides of the table.

I am sure this would create weakness if it were slotted the whole way.
A rail system would probably have to be incorperated. I could draw this but I am sure you have engineers that could do it in better detail than myself with a pencil and paper.

It would have to be a U with top rerturns with a opening in the middle. The edge of the table could be solid and may need reenforced to accomidate a tightening mechanism from the bridge itself.

Hope you can picture what I am talking about here. This would create a slide with no limitations just like the top rail of the bridge/Arch .....

The top of the arch is slotted almost all the way to the middle and stops the rod short of the centering. The side holes need to be more versitile.

They are great pics duke that middel on the top rail has to go. If not strong enough it woiuld need to be made of a heavier material as on the top it has to be able to go through the material to be effective

I was also thinking that the middle piece is there for support. I think that maybe the middle could be a slot about 100-150mm. Then a solid support point at each end of the middle hole and then some 100 - 150mm slots on each side of that. Are there any boards that would need slots on the arch left and right sides? The slots on the side of the tray just need to be longer so the arch can have more movement.

This is a rough drawing but i think this design would work out.

So sexy.
