NO ONE MOUNTING METHOD IS CORRECT FOR EVERY PRESS APPLICATION. SMALL GAP-FRAME PRESSES DO NOT REQUIRE A CRITICAL FOUNDATION ALIGNMENT SYSTEM. USUALLY, PLACEMENT ON FELT OR RUBBER ISOLATING PADS ON A SOUND REINFORCED CONCRETE FLOOR IS SUFFICIENT. STRAIGHTSIDE PRESSES AND LARGE GAP- FRAME PRESSES HAVE MORE CRITICAL ALIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS. THIS PAPER EXPLAINS THE NECESSITY OF PROPERLY INSTALLING THE PRESS, INCLUDING THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECT OF A SKEW IN THE BED OR FRAME ON THE PROCESS. THE USE OF A MACHINIST'S LEVEL IS EXPLAINED, AND EXAMPLES OF SEVERAL MOUNTING TECHNIQUES ARE DISCUSSED.
