[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 570540, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]Having started out as a rookie noodle presser, I'm now a relatively experienced veteran. Just a couple of major points to make today. I disagree with the John Seiler [URL='http://www.naspc.org/Archives/tobaccopressing.html']essay[/URL], pertaining to the duration/length of press, when it's specifically with the noodle press. I think for the "health" of the press, 7 days of gradual tightening will give the press a longer life expectancy. Don't attempt to to press to a rock hard roll cake on the first day. On the first day, tighten the crank until you have firm resistance, but not until you absolutely can't turn it anymore. The next day and successive days, you'll find there's ample turning possible.
