I have made 2 new and longer pressboards under the saddle in both x directions.?
They have also contact on outside to saddle.
2 of the 3 fasten screws on the front are now available from upper side for better control of the press.
Back side is no problem.
My lead screw is now manual operated.
(Much better than the big Hand wheel in front)

That could be related to play in the saddle gibs.
Has somebody made a lead screw to be installed in the middle of the bed ?
I have looked into Youtube, but not found what I wanted.
The problem is twisting of the saddle when I return the clock wheel cutter.
( 144 teeth on an 88 mm diameter plate gives not much room for error)
The leadscrew shall be manual twisted.
