If I want to press with 50 lbs for 10 hours, how many times would I have to adjust the tightening knob during that 10 hours?

This cheese press doesn't have any indication for the amount of pressure you are getting. I use this press for all hard cheeses and just keep pressing (turning the knob) and go for the feel. Haven't had a problem yet. You can only press the cheese so far. You don't want to push the whey out too fast.

I bought mine from the woman who designed it and had it commissioned. She said it wasn't built with those cheeses in mind, but you could keep it hand tight by every hour or so just going in and turning the knob hand tight. If you use a tool, like a wrench, you can pull the press apart. As tight as an average person can turn it is sufficient to knot the warm curd together for a cheddar style cheese.

All depends upon the type of cheese you are making. Harder cheeses release less whey in the press because most of whey was released during the process of making it. Less whey released means fewer times you have to tighten the knob. Most of that adjustment usually happens within the first couple of hours. Once the whey is released you won't have to tighten it any more. And once the whey is all released, the cheese will only allow so much pressure, you can't force it or it will squeeze out of any opening available. Remember, it's also the type of cheese and your recipe that determines how hard it is, not how much pressure you put on it. Hope that helps... All depends upon the type of cheese you are making.

It's hard to know when you're at exactly 50#, I just tighten until it feels really tight. As the whey releases the knobs get looser and I re-tighten as needed. Maybe every 3-4 hours or so or when I walk by.

the express knob gives 30 second & the bottom knob gives you 1 min. but if you press the knob again you can increase it by 10 with each press. Also you can control the time by turning the bottom knob counterclockwise & select type & wgt. according to chart on pg. 10.

I don't think so. I use one hand to hold it in place and the other one to tighten the knob. I'm an amateur, but still...

at the highest setting, around 2 hours, but its really hot, so i usually turn down the dial to the middle setting afterwards for another half an hour before dipping the hands... as advised, always check to make sure it is the right temperature (for you) before going all in...

It doesn't take me any longer than 30 seconds per adjusting nut; not difficult at all. I've had mine over a year now, traveled many a mile with the 3380 in place, wouldn't change a thing.

I apologize for the delay in responding. My tension knob works just fine by turning it to tighten or to loosen. Maybe a defective pedal exerciser was shipped to you. I'd ask for a replacement!! Good LUCK!!

It depends on how coarse you make the setting - around 80 turns for fine, 60 turns for coarse. I would say about 2 minutes more or less depending on how fast you turn the handle!

There are two 10" drill presses. One is manually adajustable by changing pully grooves, the other is adjusted by a lever mounted on the outside of head case. Add $50 ($200) for the external adjustment. Well worth it if it holds up under use.

The 24 hour dial can be rotated by hand to the current time. There is an arrow with the word 'time' just above the manual 'on' lever. Line up the correct time with the arrow. If you want to change hours of operation, you should have adjustable on/off actuators that have set screws and can be loosened, placed on the 24 hour dial where you want on and off times, then tighten the set screws. If you are missing the actuators, they can be ordered as a set for replacement.

Are you sure you tightened it enough? Normally you tighten finger tight plus 1/4 to 1/2 turn more.

It has two buttons, one for each side. So if you feel one side working harder or less than the other you can adjust it. 0 to 140 on each side. You can push both buttons simulataneously to keep them level and for ease of use.

You can adjust it at any time, in manual or program mode. It has up/down arrows that let you add/decrease tension. Sometimes I just use manual option for my entire work out, adjusting it as I bike. Hope that helps

No. Manual on, timed off. 30 min, 3 hours or 6 hours upon a human pushing the button.E.G. I used it for a lamp at work. When I arrive, I push the button and its on for 6 hours. On Saturdays, it stays off.

Before I returned the exerciser I realized that the tension knob really didn't tightened and I turned the knob until I couldn't turn it anymore...still no tension. I purchased the Stamina 55-1610 InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer. I should be receiving it tomorrow 08/09/2014. Cost more but I'm willing to try it. Hope this helped.
