Walked into a proper bindery in Portland and instantly regretted my DIY setup

I stopped by Lone Pine Bindery last weekend after a buddy kept bugging me to check it out. Saw them using a standing press with a 12 inch bed and realized how much time I waste fighting with my little tabletop press. The owner showed me how they do spine rounding with a hammer and it looked way smoother than my janky method. Has anyone else switched from a small press to a floor model and noticed a big difference in their workflow?

Switched to a floor model last year and honestly the biggest change was not having to re-tighten the press every thirty seconds during gluing.

Think you meant a 12 inch screw, not bed.

Fixing your janky method beats buying a new press, @oliviat17 is right about screw size.
