There are a few different detailed drawings throughout this forum. I'm trying to attach mine but having difficulty at the moment.

 

Ok I guess it worked. There you go.

 

I did run into a hiccup with the above design though. I did not leave enough room between the 1/2" hole and the front edge of the finger to drill a hole for the coil spring to support the finger in the upright position. I ended up using high tensile steel banding strap as a flat spring screwed to the front of the fingers. I also changed from a welded center block to short angle iron end brackets.

 

 

Tank you for the plant

 

 

Thanks for the drawing, was looking for ideas, like these

Looking to build a press. I can make the fingers. But since the concept is the same but the height vary’s from design to design. And I’ve NEVER used a press before I want to make sure I build the correct fingers.
I’m buying the Mathews atlas. Can anyone that has pressed this bow or know for sure what fingers to build. Thank you

 

Any of those above would work, however I'd recommend having a round tip instead of square like the drawing above. Your bow will only contact the press at the tip of the finger and the recess in the little metal piece on the end of the limb.

 

FYI, I stumbled across this thread in a search and decided to work from the information presented. I recreated the dwg shown above by pasting the graphic into AutoCAD and then tracing over it (more or less...the numbers don't match the actual line dwg). Then I exported it to a .dwx file and sent it to Send Cut Send for a quote. They'll make 4 of these out of 1/2" mild steel for under $40 (including tax and shipping), which is HALF what the Ebay sellers are asking for these nowadays. I did have to move the 1/2" dia hole a bit inboard on both axis, to accommodate SCS's waterjet limitations, but I think that's probably a better design anyway. I also changed the tips to 3/8" dia round curves, to match the factory indents on my Matthews Phase 4 limbs.

Hello. Do you or thay company still have the file for the fingers? I'm trying to build a press and don't really want to spend 85 plus shipping from ebay. Thanks

 

Send me an IM with your email and I'll forward it.

 

Any of the fingers here should press the Atlas without a problem. I've used shop made fingers as well as last chance fingers. They both worked just fine.
