My old rounding press finally gave out after 25 years
I was pressing a book on Tuesday and the iron screw just snapped clean in half. It was an old press I got from a retiring binder back in 1999, never had trouble with it before. Had to finish the job with clamps and a piece of plywood, which worked okay but not the same. Anybody know a good source for replacement screws or should I just scrap it?

Respectfully, 25 years is a good run for any press, maybe it's just time to build a new one.

And my first thought was, do you know how hard it is to find parts for something that old? Good luck getting a new one delivered under budget too. @drew_hart4 you ever priced a new press lately? It's like buying a house.
